Honestly, do we really need a research? I sure didn't, although it's always nice to have an objective approach on collected data. All I know it's that it's pretty OBVIOUS that the great majority of disphoric kids would grow out of their disphoria. The numbers of "transkids" raised of something like 2000% (two thousands percent!!) in something like a couple years. That alone already explains all there is to explain.

It's a mass hysteria. Not even the weirdest one. Just the most widespread one.

I think we need research in order to convince straight bystanders who say "oh, the transgender movement can do no wrong" that the Democratic party is, on this specific issue, the anti-science party.

I agree though, the massive number increase should be a red flag enough.

You'd think, but they are explaining it differently. There was a book that just recently came out about the history of "trans kids" (can't find it now, saw it on twitter earlier) that claimed that it was due to suppression and quieting of children but that supposedly had heaps of research backing up some kind of thesis that they'd been here all along and had just been ignored or incorrectly categorized, and only now are finally able to achieve who they really are. So, people are not going to just be convinced by that kind of disparity. There are explanations being put out there all over the place. It's important to keep expressing the common sense view, since the more people don't hear it, the more they'll start to think it isn't the common sense view after all and they must just be wrong to think that way...
