Just a random result from google search on Gender Dysphoria and desistance

While studies have found that anywhere from 2–27% of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria will persist in feeling dysphoric (Steensma, McGuire, Kreukels, Beekman, & Cohen-Kettenis, 2013), these findings have crucial limitations and have been widely misconstrued in the public discourse.

The child didn't have a choice. There is no medical need for circumcision.

There is no "need" to go to the hospital to see a doctor to give birth but most people do so because it is beneficial.

Hospital births are safer, so unless you want women to die at home from a problem that could have been prevented.........

What is beneficial about circumcision? It is a religious idea.

Maybe you answered this somewhere I haven't read every post, but why should circumcision to a newborn be illegal?

its their skin and it also gives better pleasure. Besides the original reason for circumcision is a Jewish thing. It's a health code. We have hot water and soap nowadays.

"METHOD:
The sample consisted of 127 adolescents (79 boys, 48 girls), who were referred for GD in childhood (<12 years of age) and followed up in adolescence. We examined childhood differences among persisters and desisters in demographics, psychological functioning, quality of peer relations and childhood GD, and adolescent reports of GD, body image, and sexual orientation. We examined contributions of childhood factors on the probability of persistence of GD into adolescence."

Reduces the risk of some sexually transmitted diseases. Here in the US only a small percentage of circumcisions are for religious reasons.

Correct, which are in third world countries or poor areas. And you don't hear about the problem in Europe.

Well, you can claim circumcision is some kind of violation if you want, I disagree.

You can disagree all you want. There is no reason for circumcision in First World countries. How come we don't hear of that problem in Europe?

Frankly, I think this concern some have over circumcision is bizarre.

A small percentage is for medical reasons as well. It's one of those things that got ingrained and people just do it unquestioningly. They are doing it out of social habit, not medical or religious reasons.
