Majority of Children Unhappy With Gender Grow Out of It, Study Shows
A recent study has found that the majority of children who felt unhappy with their birth sex at age 11 had outgrown these feelings by the time they reached 25. The Mail has the details.
Scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands followed the lives of 2,772 young people, assessing them at the ages of 11, 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25.
At the age of 11, the start of the study, 11% of participants were unhappy with their birth sex.
This number dropped at each assessment until, by the age of 25, it was just 4%.
The findings, published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour journal, raise serious questions about the approach advocated by trans activists to simply ‘affirm’ children who identify as the opposite sex and allow them to take puberty-blocking drugs.

FFS, do we really need a study for this? Will someone with common sense, who can lead, and not captured by the system, please stand up. Your country needs you.

“Majority of Children Unhappy With Gender”
“majority of children who felt unhappy with their birth sex”
Er, sorry but what does the author mean by “gender” and what does he mean by “birth sex”? What other kind of sex is there? Sex is determined at conception, male or female, and is immutable forever more. Gender is a bullshit fantasy term invented by evil loonies.
I must say, I use the words ”gender” and ”sex” interchangeably. Always have done. I’m sure I’ve filled in more than a few forms in my time and it would sometimes ask for ‘gender’ but only have male or female as options. It’s like loads of words and terms now though. Their definition seems to have morphed into something totally different to what they meant 20 years ago.
I think the morphing is deliberate
Please miss, can I change my chromosomes?
Who is ‘startled’?
I would like to have seen data for previous years. ——eg 1990 1980 1970 1960 1950. ————I know that data won’t be available, but I suggest the results today are heavily influenced by what children hear in schools. I strongly suspect they are being heavily influenced by ideology, and that if we had data from 1950 or 1960 it would bear no resemblance to what this study seems to suggest today.
We happily watched the Black abd White Minstrel show and sniggered at Julian and Sandy on Round the Horn. It was a different world then.
Gender was something I learned about in French lessons, and it applied to nouns not people.
A survey in 2014 found that 1 in 6 people aged 16+ had experienced symptoms of a common mental health problem and that that number was increasing. We are 10 years further on now and questioning of ones gender was not then being encouraged.
