15 year study shows that majority of gender-confused kids grow out of it.

Researches in the Netherlands conducted a study on over 2,700 people over the span of 15 years, from the ages of 11 to their mid-twenties. They found that 11% felt some sort of gender confusion, but by the time they reached the age of 25, the percentage dropped to just 4%.

The majority of gender confused kids grow out of that feeling by the time they are fully grown adults.
This research proves that an ideology should not be forced onto them.

These surgeries and drugs they are giving to children are child abuse.
If people still feel any gender confusion after their brain fully develops, which is typically at the age of 25, then they could look to other options to alleviate it.

Why do you care? Gender-confusion has a cause. It is not a disease, as we said. Let people work things out the way they want. There is nothing more annoying than a self-righteous busybody messing up a free society.

@sree251 What is the cause of gender confusion?
sree251 · 41-45, M
@SW-User The very term "gender-confusion" points to a mental illness. In which case, it can be treated. The sooner the better, wouldn't you say?
SW-User
@sree251 It depends of the method and effectiveness of the treatment. The proposed methods aren’t ideal.

Even if you are a mental health and gender reassignment expert, this is hardly the appropriate forum to discuss the matter. We are not much better than the tiktok crowd.

@sree251 Any forum is appropriate to discuss anything. Limiting what people can and cannot talk about isn’t wise.

But we don't have the expertise to discuss expert subjects. We become windbags if we do that. Don't you have any self-respect even if you have no regard for other people? You make me feel like a homeless person yakking with other losers about nonsense by the fire under a bridge in Skid Row.

@sree251 I don’t need expertise to discuss anything. I live in a free country that allows me to say whatever I want. This isn’t an expert subject. You want people to mind their own business, then you mind your own.

No, you don't. And we do have fun chatting about about everything from cutting edge science to poking our nose into other people's sexual orientations. By all means have fun but don't come on like an authoritative busybody speaking on from high.

@sree251 I don’t care about people’s sexual orientations. I am against child abuse, though.

It's not your business, not even if you are the US President watching child abuse in Kenya.

@sree251 Do you apply that flawed logic to everything? If I killed someone, then everyone else should stay out of it because that is my business?

It is not flawed logic at all. It is right ethic. Social manners, if you will. Don't hog the public space.

Killing someone is a big deal. It is not your business even if you are President of the US.

True, as long as you are not messing with the public space provided for other people too. You come across as a self-righteous, better than thou nosy parker marinated in the obnoxious culture of the mighty USA. I am an American, and I am pissed off with our meddling with foreign nations. You are doing the same. Don't get me wrong. I know where you are coming from with regard to people messing around with gender nonsense. It irks me too but it's their business even if I don't like it.
