      (1) Evidence from these studies suggests that the majority of gender nonconforming children are not gender dysphoric adolescents or adults.
      (2) It does not support the stereotype that most children who are actually gender dysphoric will “desist” in their gender identities before adolescence.
      (3) These studies do acknowledge that intense anatomic dysphoria in childhood may be associated with persistent gender dysphoria and persistent gender identity through adolescence.
      (4) Speculation that allowing childhood social transition traps cisgender youth in roles that are incongruent with their identities is not supported by evidence.
      (5) These studies fail to examine the diagnostic value of Real Life Experience in congruent gender roles for gender dysphoric children.
