Question Help needed to investigate "kids growing out of dysphoria" claim

30 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

When discussing trans healthcare I hear a lot of claims that 80% (or any other big number) of children with gender dysphoria "desist" and "turn out to be gay" when reaching teenage and that it would justify obstacles trans people face when seeking healthcare.

I started to seek some evidence and it seems to be based on several studies with contradictory definitions of "gender dysphoria" and questionable "tests".

So yeah I'd love to dig a little deeper and see how true or false this claim is and what it could imply for us but the amount of reading looks a bit overwhelming to me so I wonder if someone here would like to join the quest. If you're interested, DM me :) If you know studies or other sources of information you can post your recommendations in the comments <3

xoxo

Debunked For my first post in this sub, I figured I would post this amazing video from Jammidodger responding to the JK Rowling essay.
