Cherry-picking. For every case of a boy that went back to identifying as a boy, there is a boy who continued identifying as a girl. Plus, going by how someone identifies does not give you an accurate result – look at trans people. They identify as the opposite sex, despite not being the opposite sex biologically or socially. Plus in the cases of intersex boys, who went on to identify as boys, despite being brought up as girls, it wasn't their gender identity that won out in the end, it was their sex. Any sex reassignment surgeries they would have undergone, never actually changed their sex. So if anything, these examples prove you can't change sex.

No one is born with a gender identity, since it's a cultural construct & varies from culture to culture. Gender identity is as much socialised as every other social identity. You're not born with a culture, & gender is just the cultural norms associated with it's respected sex.

Trans people prove that it's socialisation rather than self-identification that determines their gender identity, seeing as their gendered behavioural trends are the majority of the time consistent with their socialisation & in opposition to their self-ID. For instance, trans sex offenders should all be female if their self-ID is to be believed, turns out, they're all male.

Even the guy who coined the term 'gender identity' understood the difference between self-identification & gender identity. He said that trans children understood that they were boys who wanted to be girls, proving that their "core gender identity" is that of a boy.

That being said, gender non-conformity is overrepresented in the homosexual population, as a result homosexuals are overrepresented within the transgender population. But an effeminate gay male doesn't have the same gender identity as a straight woman, so how does he acquire one as soon as he self-identifies as a woman? There is actually no difference between a man who identifies as a femboy & a man who identifies as transgender, other than an ideological difference.

The thing about the nature vs. nurture debate is that both play a role in shaping a person, by contrast, according to trans ideology, self-ID totally overrides both nature & nurture – this is why it can't be taken seriously. At best they are all non-binary, seeing as sex & socialisation play a (huge) role.

Obviously, I'm ignoring the fact that the self-ID cult claims that their self-ID is not invoking free will, but rather the nature side of the nature vs. nurture debate. I'm ignoring it because their sex can be measured, unlike their self-ID. It's physically & biologically present. Their sex is the nature part of the debate (which they try to convince can be changed via hormones).

Sure, if they are homosexual then allegedly parts of their brains resemble the opposite sex, but that can be thrown out since not all homosexuals are trans & not all trans people are homosexuals. It's also true that gender dysphoria, like many metal disorders, has a physical manifestation neurologically, but again, not everyone with GD is trans & not all trans people have GD. So there is no physical/biological evidence for being trans, therefore it doesn't belong anywhere near the nature side of the nature vs. nurture debate.
