How noble that Zinnia is offering to take up the slack.
I predict this "research" will reveal that teens/YAs claim they always knew they were trans, but they didn't share these feelings with their parents until recently. This is expected, but doesn't disprove ROGD.

My daughter said that she always knew she was a boy, but kept it from me until she was 16. I have no doubt she believed it at the time (& was extremely unhappy about my hesitation to affirm/seek medical interventions), but after a year she decided this identity no longer fit. /2

I hope Zinnia realizes that many parents state their rapid-onset trans-IDing kids rewrite their histories to align with their new identities. And that their kids are often upset by their parents' reluctance to start medical interventions. This is part of the ROGD phenomenon. /3

Ideally, "more research" on ROGD would include interviewing young people who fit the rapid-onset profile along with a holistic examination of them: prior mental health issues, peer influence, family member insights, etc. /4

Yeah, something tells me they aren't too interested in talking to those young people, though.https://twitter.com/dogcalledbambi/status/1083861881658490880 …

Zinnia and crew have spent so much time decrying that ROGD doesn't exist, it's highly unlikely that they'd suddenly come to their senses and learn from desisters/detransitioners who confirm that it does.

In contrast, those who've observed or lived ROGD don't deny the existence of other kinds of gender dysphoria. But ZJ and acolytes screech and screech that ROGD "doesn't exist", while studiously ignoring those who say they experienced it. No bias there.

On one side people admit to there being different kinds of gender dysphoria, requiring different kinds of treatment. But Zinnia et al seem to desperately cling to the idea that there are no distinctions and attempt to discredit all contradictory research/researchers.

Yo, I've literally pointed out at length that late-onset gender dysphoria is already a thing that's been recognized for decades, and that late-onset dysphoria in adolescent AFABs has been covered in previous literature.https://genderanalysis.net/2018/12/lisa-littman-cites-edwards-leeper-spack-2012-in-her-rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria-study-but-did-she-read-it/ …

Ray Blanchard @BlanchardPhDThe phrase "rapid onset gender dysphoria" is necessary to denote the sudden appearance of trans ideation in teens exposed to trans peers on-line or at school. "Late-onset" has been used for decades to denote slow-growing gender dysphoria that manifests to others in adulthood.4 replies 3 retweets 3 likes

Also, we noticed you and your team of experts ignore (every time) actual women who say they had ROGD.https://twitter.com/dogcalledbambi/status/1083861739261825025 …
