>> a lot of them do. they've looked at studies looking at children and they found that only 25% of the children when you follow them through into adulthood will continue to identify as transgender. so for the majority of them it's like a phase that they will change and they will start to identify more as their own buy logical gender. >> if parents have a child who doesn't want to wear a dress a little girl who wants to wear boy clothes or does tomboy things, should they worry, i don't want to say worry should they be sensitive that it could be the beginning of a gender identity question? >> it could be. you need to know your child. you need to be senseitive to your child. it's possible that may end up being gavey. you just need to be aware of this stuff. i wouldn't freak out if i were a parent and my child were saying something like that but if it
