It looks like it was actually 11 kids out of 283 that they followed up with that stopped identifying as trans, or 4%—which is still wildly low!

Meanwhile, 28 of 285 kids that entered the study as cisgender now identified as trans or gender diverse on follow-up—10% of the cis kids were really trans!

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.

This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.
A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause
How stable are the gender identities of younger children?
A study finds that one in five who switch gender change their mind

right. he is failing in this moment for precisely the same reason he succeeded in others. no one is the right person for every moment.
Ezra Klein is a good person, and his mental blindspot led him to extend a presumption of good faith towards a deceased monster instead of wrestling with the monster's actual politics.

These can both be true.
right, this is the basic problem. ezra is a guy with a lot of virtues who has been forced into a situation where none of his virtues are actual virtues.

i am biased because i'm a stranger whom ezra klein helped for no reason, to such an extent that i would not be here (anywhere) without him.

What's going to happen when iCE kidnaps soccer players from African and South American nations competing at the World Cup simply because ICE has a habit of profiling. Simply put, if the teams decide to go for a walk in between games, will they be picked up? Mark my words, this will be a reality.

41 years ago today, Ray Parker Jr. hits #1 with “Ghostbusters” — and holds the top spot for 3 weeks

“The trick is I never say the word ‘Ghostbusters’. I’m just gonna say, ‘Who ya gonna call?’ and then the crowd says, ‘Ghostbusters!’ because that’s who they want to call to solve their problems.”

1. The DOJ under Pam Bondi is trying to scare businesses, hospitals, airports, and more which receive federal funds into banning trans people from bathrooms.

We've seen this tool lead to mass compliance on trans healthcare and sports.

DOJ Wants to Scare Schools, Businesses and More Into Trans Bathroom Ban
A threat like this is a bet, one waged on the expectation that Americans, acting out of fear, will fall in line.
