@KatyMontgomerie Hi Katy. Great blog. One important clarification - the old 'desistance' studies were on kids diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder, which measured non-conformity (playing with dolls). They were not kids diagnosed with Gender dysphoria. This is a really important difference.
@KatyMontgomerie The majority of kids whose parents took them to a Gender Clinic in the 70s and 80s for being too feminine did indeed grow up to be cis gay men. But these were not the same children as trans children - my daughter couldn't care less about feminine clothes or dolls.
@KatyMontgomerie This false idea that a huge percentage of trans kids magically change their identity at the start of puberty is not supported at all in the literature. And this idea causes massive harm to those kids who assert their identities at a young age.
