Majority of gender-confused children grow out of it by adulthood: Netherlands study

A majority of children who say they are gender-confused grow out of those feelings by adulthood, according to a new study.

The study, conducted by researchers in the Netherlands and first reported by the Daily Mail, tracked over 2,700 individuals from age 11 up to their mid-twenties who were periodically surveyed about their feelings towards their gender identity every three years.

The results revealed that approximately one in ten children expressed some degree of "gender non-contentedness" during the study period. However, by the age of 25, only one-in-25 individuals reported feeling "often" or "sometimes" discontent with their gender.

These findings suggest that while feelings of gender confusion may be relatively common among children and adolescents, the vast majority of individuals who experience such doubts ultimately resolve them by adulthood.
