4/ First off, Ford is misstating what the desistance literature even *is.* Not all kids with gender dysphoria are or will become trans.
5/ The desistance lit is about kids with GD. This is 101-level stuff, fer realsies. And yes, there is debate over the desistance *rate*,
6/ which is a very hard thing to determine for a zillion reasons. But just about nobody who works seriously in this field sees desistance
7/ as a “myth.” Some activists do, which is their right. That’s not the science. I'm now going to tweet some
8/ screencaps/links from groups that recognize desistance. Let’s start with the APA. https://www.apa.org/practice/guidelines/transgender.pdf …pic.twitter.com/1GAchq4ubi
9/ Now SAMSHA. (They reference GNC here but elsewhere mention dysphoria explicitly) http://store.samhsa.gov/shin/content/SMA15-4928/SMA15-4928.pdf …pic.twitter.com/m6GRqo9lZL
10/ Now WPATH, which Ford cites approvingly 2 grafs before claiming desistance is a myth. https://s3.amazonaws.com/amo_hub_content/Association140/files/Standards%20of%20Care%20V7%20-%202011%20WPATH%20(2)(1).pdf …pic.twitter.com/DT4V0uh5FS
11/ This is why gender-affirming clinician-Ford's favored approach-acknowledge desistance http://psycnet.apa.org/?&fa=main.doiLanding&doi=10.1037/sgd0000167 …pic.twitter.com/bIptTawcGD
12/ Question for Ford/ThinkProgress: In what other area would you refer to a finding broadly accepted by WPATH, by SAMSHA, by the APA,
13/ by the progressive clinicians working with and fighting for trans kids, as a "myth." What do you guys know about this that WPATH and
14/ SAMSHA and the APA and those clinicians don't? Clearly you are sitting on a different body of research, and it would be useful if you
15/ shared it with the rest of the world. If you aren’t sitting on a different body of research, you should ask yourself why you are
