If that turns out to be the case, than ROGD is a false explanation. Did... Did we just break out of the Twitter dumpster fire rubric?

I don't want to continue this over Twitter because I feel like my views are being misrepresented by Evan a lot. I've interviewed kids who in fact wanted to go on hormones, or did go on hormoens, as a result of social influence or other mental-health problems, not a deep-seated

identity that persists. You can call that whatever you want, and I understand ROGD is a loaded term. Whatever the thing is, it happens *sometimes*. The first paper written on it took about the approach you'd expect when investigating a brand-new concept. If the question is

You know, since I wrote that article I’ve become a foster parent. I take child abuse and child endangerment incredibly seriously, and I must say I don’t particularly appreciate it being thrown around casually in the discussion of trans issues.

People who love their kids and are trying to genuinely do the right thing by them shouldn’t be lightly tarred with the child abuse brush. On either side, I hasten to add. Parenting isn’t easy.
