That summary of our summaries is close enough for me, cheers! I think what you described is normal adolescence, but it doesn't sound ROGD. Is being T just a haircut?

The thing about ROGD is that it didn't come out of clinicians observing gender nonconforming youth, or researchers working with those youth. It came from so-called "gender critical" forums, places where anti-trans activists discuss strategy.
The paper on ROGD asked parents in these pre-existing online anti-trans forums that created the term to tell their stories. The researcher, to my knowledge, had and has no other experience with trans or gender nonconforming youth.

There are a few statements you are saying that may or may not be factual, and a reader here like myself would have to read a lot to see if they are true. 1. ROGD is a concept originating from online discussions. 2. The term itself originated from these forums. (1/2)

3. These forums are anti-trans people, or bigots. 4. People use these forums to plan public talking points. I'm a bit skeptical, as Bradley, Zucker, Blanchard, etc. all seem to take it seriously.
