Dr. James Cantor — director of the Toronto Sexuality Centre and author of the blog Sexology Today — compiled results from a dozen medical studies that say the majority of kids stop feeling transgendered past puberty.

“There are groups — and I hate to say activists because they are extremists — are upset because they don’t like the results. Activists are not a meaningful representation of a community,” Cantor said.

“These are people who argue that everyone should be treated the way they wanted to be treated as kids. They want sexual diversity, but they want everyone to be treated the same.”

One study from Netherlands that Cantor looked at followed 127 transgendered children into adulthood.
