- PSA for anyone unaware, the ‘desistance studies’ that conclude that most children with gender dysphoria outgrow it are based on the DMS-IV criteria for gender identity disorder, now renamed to gender dysphoria.
  Well, who cares and why does it matter? It matters because in the DSM-IV criteria children literally did not need to identify as another gender to be diagnosed with it. They might as well have called it sissy disorder. Gender nonconforming kids who are cis would get diagnosed with this, and the entire point of therapy was to make them gender conforming and straight. This is so psychologically damaging to kids that it’s banned in many western countries.
  So, they take every gender nonconforming kid, the majority of which are cis but a minority are trans, declare they all have the same disorder (doesn’t do gender right disorder), and when the cis kids don’t transition as adults they go “look, this proves you can stop kids from being trans!” and hope you don’t notice the sleight of hand.
- On top of what the others have said: at 11 years old, a trans kid is very unlikely to be medically transitioning, and so their transition is entirely social. With that in mind, what is the actual harm to a kid socially exploring trans identity and then later changing their mind? Why would that percentage need to be 100%?
  
  Why does anything need to have a label. Why can't people just be what they want without prescribing to some socially defined idea
- Trans folk still identify as Trans indefinitely in about 94% of cases. Evidence suggests many of the other 6% are bullied, harassed, or threatened as a factor in their changing the way they identify.
  Or was that a rhetorical question?
  
  Sounds more like a sealioning question, especially with their username implying trolling.
  
  sealioning question
  I figured as much (though the term is new to me). Giving a solid answer is often the right response to that kind of question. Every propaganda technique has a weakness, and "hard questions"'s weakness is that people usually read the replies and if those replies are calm and collected recitations of facts, people hear them and the question's bullshit value is mitigated.
- I doubt you'll read these. I'm pretty sure your "wonder" is meant to stay that way permenantly so you can continue to feign ignorance and ask inflammatory questions. Just say you hate trans people already. This coy shit is annoying.

- Never went away for me, and I didn't even know what the term "trans" was back then.
