Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we hopefully get a little bit closer to understanding what the hell gender is.

I'm your host and resident gender detective, Tuckwood Stock.

This week on the show, I'm excited to share my conversation with Joe, Krishna Kumar.

Ozzy and I learned about Joe through the Center for Applied Transgender Studies

That's all at bit.ly slash gender merch. And now it's time for this week in gender.

You may have heard that the academic journal pediatrics recently published the results of a longitudinal study that began in 2013.

This study followed more than 300 trans boys and girls between the ages of three and 12 and found that after five years, more than 97% of those kids were still trans.

Meanwhile, out of the eight kids who did G transition over that five year period, seven of them did so before the age of nine, and only one kid made it as far as using puberty blockers before deciding that they were cis after all.

So to frame it another way, out of the 190 kids who went on puberty blockers or hormones so far over the course of the study, only one later came to identify as cisgender, at least so far.
