Trans Kids’ Healthcare: Are We Getting It Wrong?
Science Vs
Study on Gender Identity Shifts in Teens
A study followed teens aged 15 to 21 for over three years to track their gender identity shifts. The findings revealed that it was common for individuals to shift from cis to trans to cis again. Surprisingly, a significant number of teens who initially identified as trans later identified as cis. Concerns about unnecessary medication for trans kids were addressed in the study, showing that those who changed their identity rarely used hormones or puberty blockers. The data suggested that for most trans individuals on medication, the identity was consistent. The research also indicated that social transitioning at a younger age could lead to more stable gender identities. Overall, the studies refuted the misconception that many individuals stop identifying as trans after taking medication.
