Study - Psychosexual Outcome of Gender-Dysphoric Children

https://www.jaacap.org/article/S0890-8567(08)60142-2/abstract

Conclusions

Most children with gender dysphoria will not remain gender dysphoric after puberty. Children with persistent GID are characterized by more extreme gender dysphoria in childhood than children with desisting gender dysphoria. With regard to sexual orientation, the most likely outcome of childhood GID is homosexuality or bisexuality. J. Am. Acad. Child and Adolesc. Psychiatry, 2008;47(12):1413–1423.
