The question is not “do you feel dissatisfied with your sex”. It’s asking, directly, about the surveyed’s desire to be the opposite sex. Which is literally what it means to be transgender.
So gender dysphoria is not a thing then? You don’t even have a base understanding of what you’re talking about.
The second quote is just semantic straw-grasping “the study didn’t use the literal words ‘gender confused’!”
It’s important because wanting to be the opposite sex “sometimes to often” is an entirely different beast from being gender confused.
Please. It is completely fair to describe “desire to be the opposite sex” as gender confusion, especially in years of childhood where one’s sense of self is in active development.
Is it also fair to lump gender confusion with being transgender, and then make the conclusion that “being trans is just a phase”?
Notice how every step of your argument relies on saying that two distinct things are “fair to describe” as being the same. Eventually the results of a survey that asks “have you ever wanted to be the opposite sex” proves that transgenderism is a phase.
If a child said they wanted to be the opposite sex, and then as an adult said they did not, it doesn’t mean they ever were transgender, or changed back from being transgender. It’s an entirely different thing altogether.
