Yeah, and there it's really you're right.
We're still doing more research and there'll be more to come.
But yes, it's interesting.
The three there there are three groups of people that show up more in gender clinics than other groups of people, uh uh statistically, and then one other anecdotally that I know locally, 'cause I'm here in the
Bay Area in the land of kind of gender clinics in terms of what people are seeing and the children who are adopted are far more likely to express gender expansive uh identities, kids on the autism spectrum and twins.
You see higher prevalence in twins than non-twins.
And then the fourth category, anecdotally, that folks here are talking about are children formed through IVF or created families that that involve IVF or alternative um reproductive technologies, assistant technologies to to form families.
And some of the thinking and a lot of it's theoretical, and we will be piecing things through, is that again
that these things all have both a genetic component and a the possibility that there's something in utero in terms of wiring and timing of hormones.
Speaking to autism specifically, the fact that autism already occurs so much more in boys than girls, and we certainly know that that there's been more attention paid to better diagnosing girls, so be looking for girls on the autism spectrum more.
So that part of the reason there's such a wide disparity between boys and girls diagnosed is because we're missing it in girls.
That that's true.
That's true.
And we're trying to address that as a field.
But even so, it's it's you know five times more likely, I think, at least in boys than in girls, and it's much more common.
And so that sort of suggests that there might be something related to hormones and development and or
Genetics and the way genes are passed down.
And they've looked in both.
In gender clinics, there are also more children with autism presenting.
So you'd think there'd be 2% in the local community and there's 7%.
