The article discusses a study published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood, revealing that the diagnosis of gender dysphoria in children has increased fiftyfold in England over the past decade. The rate jumped from about one in 60,000 in 2010 to one in 1,200 by 2021. The study, co-authored by Professor Tim Doran from the University of York, observed a higher prevalence among females compared to males and that the conditions became more common as children aged. Uniquely, the study noted that socioeconomic deprivation did not correlate with the prevalence rates.
"The amount of children with a gender dysphoria diagnosis in England has risen fiftyfold over the last decade, although numbers remain low, research has found."
"Researchers found that prevalence and incidence rose with children's age, although there was no link to the level of deprivation in their area, which surprised the researchers."
