Florida’s Department of Health and Board of Medicine misrepresented the review’s conclusion by stating 80% of children will “lose the desire” to identify with a sex not assigned at birth.
Studies used to support the 80% figure in the review did not reference gender identities; it centered on the persistence and desistence of gender dysphoria in adulthood. Steensmalater wrote that “using the term desistence in this way does not imply anything about the identity of the desisters.”
