    Following my interactions with @jessesingal yesterday regarding the issue of "rapid onset gender dysphoria", I penned a blog about the experience. I explain why I think that Singal should make the lack of good evidence for it clear to his readership.https://www.cathryntownsend.org/blog/rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria-and-journalistic-integrity …

        I do appreciate this, but I'm wondering if you know his track record on science/trans folks? I don't think he's about to--given a history of treating trans folks extremely poorly, being cited in anti-trans legislation, that dogwhistle Atlantic cover that outed a trans kid, etc.

        Which is just to say, for me, the point is less that he should have the integrity to do this (ie actually understand what the Littman study/edits were about, and make that clear to readers), and more that this is yet another example of his clear lack of journalistic integrity.

        an obstacle not to be underestimated in this discourse is that "rapid onset gender dysphoria" sounds so sciencey🤓🙄

        Yes, that's true. It sounds like an official mental health diagnosis.

        I’m glad someone wrote such a careful and thorough analysis of the situation, and I agree with you. As others have said, Singal has shown himself impervious to correction on this issue and unable to fairly evaluate evidence and to exclusively rely on confirming anecdotes.

        I tried to be careful. It's not my field but I do have an interest in the topic and I'm just as capable of assessing the evidence as.. well, Jesse.

        I hope it's of some small service. I would really like to see a more thorough catalogue of how the science on this topic is misunderstood written up in a major press piece.

        "Isn't it time that Jesse Singal got to grips with the scientific literature, [...]" An eternal mood when it comes to JS vs. trans issues (Snark is the only thing I have to add to the blog post)
