You've been more reasonable @econbrkfst . But in general, there's been an effort to tear down what Littman HERSELF characterized as preliminary vs. realizing there might be some truth in her work. Agree w/you that certain players have created hysteria in the opposite direction.

It seems the key question in all this is whether the people (journos, researchers, etc) who are looking into the abrupt-onset phenomenon have the ulterior motive of shaming, oppressing, or trying to deny services to those who feel transition worked/works well for them.

Think you're aware that we (4thWaveNow) have criticized efforts promoted by what we see as extremists. Don't think Shrier is in that camp; have seen her generally respond to people who approach her reasonably. She's on Twitter, you could tag her & ask.

Thanks for a rational discussion. We all need more of this. Apart from actual sociopaths (who are rare), most people mean well and can be engaged (and challenged!) in good faith. I always try to remember that on my side of the keyboard...

Thanks. Yes I’ve seen your site 4wave ... I don’t see any bigotry there , just concerned parents. It’s also concerning that how Dr Zucker has been treated in the media. In medicine, especially on the cutting edges, there isn’t “one way”.

I agree the econo that certain right wingers will run an agenda with this ... in the same way that certain left wingers have run with the IAT. Also frustrating is the fact that de-transitioners get ignored or shamed by irresponsible activism.

It's unfortunate that (in particular) some well meaning parents have been swept up into an effort funded and promoted by the same players who fought (and still fight) to deny gay people civil rights and/or who would jail women for abortion.
