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.

I agreed with you.

@WillaKissing Thanks. I’m not sure why people get so hostile when it is suggested that people wait until they are adults to make this decision.

@SW-User There is nothing but wisdom in that and I do not get it either. Most that go throw the gender reassignment become depressed and suicidal as well. So, well worth the adult wait time of 25 I would say.

Heck, I dabbled with my cross dressing on and off from age 11 through my adult life, and only in my late 40's did I know it was to be a passion of mine, yet still 100% heterosexual. I get waiting for such a massive change as sex reassignment.

@SW-User Don't think you'll find many disagreeing that kidx should wait. However, it's all about how the "wait" is managed. Just telling a kid to forget about it won't work. We can be less judgemental if the kid wants to dress as the other gender, it's just clothes.

@22Michelle Yes, true!
