    My piece for @TheEconomist, about a study that suggests that the rapid rise in referrals of teenagers to gender clinics may be partly a social phenomenonhttps://www.economist.com/united-states/2018/09/01/why-are-so-many-teenage-girls-appearing-in-gender-clinics …

        If it isn’t a social contagion, then we better take a very fast, very hard look at environmental factors (food supply, food storage) for endocrine disruptors.

        Thank you for your quality journalism! I was not a part of Dr. Littman's survey. My daughter was gender dysphoric for 1yr. Her GD has been resolved for >1yr because we didn't abide by APA recommendation of affirmation therapy - my daughter says this and thanks us!

        Thank you for this! Continued research - without censorship from activists - is needed. We owe children and teens rigorous & open investigation.

        Support and affirmation can be terribly harmful if the support is for a self destructive behavior
