The majority of gender-confused children grow out of that feeling by the time they are fully grown adults, according to a long-term study.
Researchers in the Netherlands tracked more than 2,700 children from age 11 to their mid-twenties, asking them every three years of feelings about their gender.
Results showed at the start of the research, around one-in-10 children (11 percent) expressed 'gender non-contentedness' to varying degrees.
But by age 25, just one-in-25 (4 percent) said they 'often' or 'sometimes' were discontent with their gender.

I had 5 kids and everyone of them tried out different things while growing up. The girls were tomboys and one of the boys dressed as a girl for halloween - none are trans or even gay. It is just a part of growing up and trying new things to find their place in the world. Geez folks, let kids be kids.

Apologies to Star Trek:
Random Woke Doctor: A simple “injection, snip-snip, counseling and reconstructive surgery” will relieve the “gender dysphoria” pressure.
Enlightened “Bones” McCoy: Barbarian! My God man, “chemically altering nature, lopping off organs, harvesting tissue, and building faux genitalia” is not the answer! The “psyche” must be repaired! Now, put away your butcher's knives and let me save this patient before it's too late!

So how does a child grow back their breasts or penis??? Inquiring minds want to know.

My child thought she was a dog for a few weeks when she was 4 or 5, and would only yip yelp and bark to communicate. I started putting a dish on the floor with her food, and fairly quickly she became human again. I did not consider transspecies surgery.

Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird would be a big problem for Atticus nowadays.

Even as a child I knew what my gender was when I pulled down my zipper to pee.
I didn't sit because I didn't have to.
Those who have some sort of desire to sit and pee and look at their protuberance and wish it wasn't there will probably out grow it or if they don't, they are stuck with a mental problem. There is no way to become what you are not. Even those who have an operation know in the depths of their mind that they are not really what they dreamed of being.
That is what makes them suicidal. The fact that in their own minds they wasted their lives for a dream that could never be.

Everyone at some stage feels sommat "unmanly", that doesn't make them a woman.
On the otherside.....everyone feels unladylike, that doesn't make them a "Man".
Defining oneself by what you are NOT, isn't the same as Be-ing.
I've had to have that conversation with numerous young men...being raised by single mothers, that all at some point start to untie the apron strings and their only point of reference as to "What a man is", is to act the OPPOSITE of their Mom. Often being very mean to her in the process.

Yeah, "grow out of it".....unless the Mutilation Teams get ahold of them.

Any doctor who proceeds with physical mutilation or hormone disruption for children should be cast out of the profession, and any politician who supports it should be removed from office. Today.

They grow out of it when their activist teachers stop trying to get them to switch genders.
