A recent study reveals a dramatic surge in gender dysphoria diagnoses among under-18s in England, with cases increasing fiftyfold over the past ten years according to GP medical records analyzed by researchers.
The comprehensive analysis aimed to understand evolving patterns in gender dysphoria diagnoses within community settings during the previous decade.
According to NHS definitions, gender dysphoria refers to discomfort stemming from a disconnect between one’s biological sex and gender identity, potentially triggering severe anxiety, depression, and significant disruption to daily functioning.
Records show 10,000 under-18s in UK were diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2021. There are people in Universities and NHS still saying nearly all of these kids should be medically transitioned (noone is ever wrong about their gender identity, etc). Amazing to think about now. pic.twitter.com/ZtHP1ZTuCq

“What we have is the number of children who’ve ever had a diagnosis of something related to gender dysphoria,” Prof Tim Doran, co-author of the work from the University of York, said.
The research team, publishing their findings in Archives of Disease in Childhood, examined data from English GP practices spanning 2011 to 2021, analyzing records of 3,782 young people diagnosed with gender dysphoria or related conditions.
The investigation, which sampled approximately 20% of GP practices, demonstrated increases in both new annual cases and overall prevalence throughout the study period.
Statistical analysis showed prevalence rates jumped from roughly one in 60,000 children in 2011 (representing 192 cases nationally) to approximately one in 1,200 by 2021 (equating to 10,291 cases nationwide).
Researchers noted that from 2015, prevalence increased more rapidly among those recorded as female in medical records, eventually reaching double the rate of recorded males by 2021.

According to Doran, among older teenagers aged 17-18, gender dysphoria prevalence reached approximately one in 238 by 2021, representing a significant increase despite remaining relatively uncommon overall.
The study found that while diagnosis rates increased with age, there was no correlation between diagnosis rates and regional socioeconomic status.
Additionally, researchers investigated mental health challenges among young people with gender dysphoria diagnoses.
Their findings indicated that rates of anxiety, depression, and self-harm in this group matched or exceeded levels seen in young people with autism or eating disorders, conditions already known for high rates of these mental health challenges.
