That Trans Thread

[Rev. Rye]

Groundbreaking study reveals the obvious – that trans kids are who they say they are
Pink News

The research looked at the statistics of 317 early childhood social transitioners – 208 trans girls and 109 trans boys – and examined the rate at which these adolescents would “retransition” either to their gender assigned at birth or to a non-binary identity.

It found that over an average of five years after the beginning of their social transition, around 7.1 per cent had “retransitioned” at least once. Almost half of that figure – 3.5 per cent – began identifying as non-binary, rather than with a binary gender identity.

The percentage included a small group – around 1.3 per cent – of youths who had retransitioned to another identity before returning back to their original binary trans identity.  Another 2.5 per cent of those who retransitioned went back to identifying as cisgender.

By the end of that period, around 94 per cent identified with a binary trans identity.

I remember Vaush talking about that very study:




It's weird, it's almost like when kids start to identify as trans, it's because they're actually trans.
