I think what he is critiquing (correct me if I'm wrong, Rolf) is the fact that the study seriously suggests that a past life as the opposite sex can be a cause of childhood gender nonconformity.

Let's suppose that people actually reincarnate. The probability that in all of your past lives, you would've been both male and female is extremely high, so there's no reason why that would cause gender nonconformity. If, on the other hand, it's based only on your most recent…
