A recent study has found that the majority of children who felt unhappy with their birth sex at age 11 had outgrown these feelings by the time they reached 25. The Mail has the details.

Scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands followed the lives of 2,772 young people, assessing them at the ages of 11, 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25.

At the age of 11, the start of the study, 11% of participants were unhappy with their birth sex.

This number dropped at each assessment until, by the age of 25, it was just 4%.
