According to two CDC health surveys of young adults from 2017 to 2020, about 5% of youths aged 17-24 believe they are transgender or “non-binary.”That’s more than double previous estimates. For 40 years, researchers studying transgendered people have been trying to figure out how many people are afflicted with gender dysphoria. It’s no accident that only 0.5% of adults over the age of 25 identify as trans — ten times less than the percentage of kids. Suicide rates among those suffering from gender dysphoria are ten times those of the general population. Dr. Goepferd is no doubt aware that “gender reassignment” surgery doesn’t work for patients suffering from gender dysphoria.
