@VGameL0v3e12sF012Ree Probably delay until after 24. Most studies have shown that when kids have this type of body dysphoria, it generally goes away at that time.

@michaelh878 Or let them go until they're adults. That's the rational thing to do particularly with the age of these children.

When faced with the truth, no doubt the Democrats will walk out rather than admit the horror of what they're pushing for children. And when the horror comes to light, they'll say "we had no idea". Meanwhile, they're making bank on this type of surgery and ruining people's lives. One thing congress should do is eliminate the doctor's blanket immunity from lawsuits for this type of surgery, which would make them uninsurable.

Almost all lesbians and gay people are against this stuff.

@VGameL0v3e12sF012Ree It's on "Transgender Trend" of all places. Here's a snippet: "Desistance studies in children with Gender Dysphoria Eleven studies have been conducted looking at whether gender dysphoria persists throughout childhood. On average 80% of children change their minds and do not continue into adulthood as transgender. Some of these studies are very old, the first being published in 1968 and others in the 1980s. This was during a time when being transgender was not accepted as widely in society as it is now so it can be argued that this may have influenced many to change their minds. A search of the literature (Korte, 2008) found: Only 2.5% to 20% of all cases of GID in childhood and adolescence are the initial manifestation of irreversible transsexualism. An analysis of 10 published studies can be seen here. The most recent study in this group, published in 2013, confirms that gender dysphoria does not persist in most children past puberty. Link to research here. In this Dutch study they identified 127 children who were referred to the Gender Identity clinic in Amsterdam when they were under the age of 12. They then looked to see if these children were still gender dysphoric by the time they reached adolescence at age 15. 47 (37%) of these children had persisted. However 80 (64%) of children had either desisted (52) or were no longer traceable (28). See Figure 1. Since there is only one Gender Identity clinic for children in Holland it can be assumed that the latter no longer required support and so had also desisted.
