That's because they count "desistance" as ANYONE who shows ANY level of gender-nonconforming behavior as a child and then shows less of it after adolescence This framing of this study by TERFs is wildly, viciously dishonest

You're saying kids "stopped being trans" whom no one would've labeled as trans in the first place - indeed the actual abstract of the study points out that "intensity of gender dysphoria strongly correlates with persistence"

I.e. lots of kids play around with using the "wrong" pronouns or wearing the "wrong" clothes The ones who care enough about this to meet the existing diagnostic criteria for being trans and seeking transition are the ones who DON'T "grow out of it"
