“By the time respondents were 25, only four percent reported being discontent with their genders.”
Here are the highlights from another source:
A new study out of the Netherlands, which surveyed children over a 15-year period, showed that the vast majority of children confused about their genders grow out of the feelings by adulthood.
“This study provides even more reason to be skeptical towards aggressive steps to facilitate gender transition in childhood and adolescence,” said Patrick Brown of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, speaking to the Daily Mail.
During the study, a group of 2772 minors, split roughly evenly between males and females, were given a survey asking whether they felt discontent with their gender.
When children were first asked about their genders, at age 11, results showed that 11 percent of respondents were somewhat discontent with their genders.
Over the course of the study, however, that number diminished drastically.
By the time respondents were 25, only four percent reported being discontent with their genders.
All this begs the question: WHY ARE WE EVEN HAVING THE CONVERSATION? The answer – because the AAP is a rogue and radical organization that panders to ideologues. That is not medicine. That is politics.
I would think age 21 should be the limiting factor. At that age they are no longer considered minors. However with OBAMACARE, that means that they have insurance coverage until age 25………another reason to get rid of this onerous legislation onto which Bernie Sanders is now tacking socialized medicine.
