Although the study represents a valid contribution to the scientific literature, its framing, given its limit to parental observations, needed to be corrected and clarified. A Formal Comment by a member of our Editorial Board provides further context.https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0212578 …

We recognize that issues with the study should have been addressed prior to publication. We have and will learn from the case, and since have completed an internal restructure so that we can better support our Editorial Board &are better equipped to serve individual communities

We want to extend our apologies to the trans and gender variant community and others affected by the shortcomings of the initial review. PLOS is an inclusive, open and non-discriminatory publisher that deeply cares for the concerns of this community.

Replying to @PLOSONE
@joergheber this is a step in the right direction, but actions are needed to repair the damages done by peer review oversight Some actions for@PLOSONE: 1. Hire trans experts in the Ed Board 2. Issue series dedicated to trans health 3. Publish viewpoints from trans experts#rogd6 replies 0 retweets 38 likes -

Replying to @joergheber @PLOSONE
You support hiring editors, and soliciting expert opinions, based on whether or not they are trans? How can having a medical illness be relevant to one's professional competencies? What about the conflicts of interest it implies given this controversy? These are "good points"?
