  • Did you read the study? I mean first of all, the link you posted doesn’t directly have the actual study - and the full text link is paywalled.

    I was able to find it elsewhere online, and read through it. The adolescents in question were never introduced to hormone treatment. They were eligible and applied due to their dysphoria, but did not go through with treatment at the time of the study. The article is specifically about their experience with dysphoria through puberty. Yes, it discusses how all of the participants experienced some sort of gender dysphoria in their childhood. It even states multiple times that none of them officially transitioned in the first place. The paper is specifically about their feelings BEFORE any medical steps are taken.

    It is also a study on both desisters and persisters. It is looking for commonalities between their experiences. The persisters would retain their dysphoria, while it disappeared for the desisters. This is not a calculation of how many people with dysphoria de-transition.

    I’m also not sure where “80%” came from, but regardless, your citation is under completely different and unrelated circumstances.
