"But Littman did none of that. All she did was anonymously survey parents from the exact same anti-trans online parent groups that invented the concept, codifying their totally bogus myth in the guise of a scientific study." 5/

"As Julia Serano points out in her detailed debunk of Littman’s study, all available guidelines for treating trans children already account for the possibility that teens might present with gender dysphoria despite having no prior history of gender-nonconforming behavior." 6/

"It’s not social contagion, as the
#ROGD parents claim, but social acceptance for trans people that easily explains the growth. The same exact thing happened with left-handedness. There used to be intense stigma against being left-handed." 7/4 replies 7 retweets 34 likesShow this thread -
"All Littman did was prove that anti-trans parents believe that their own anti-trans views are legitimate. Unfortunately for the scientific merit of her paper, she also believed them. Her study presents the results as somehow validating the legitimacy of
#ROGD." 8/1 reply 4 retweets 32 likesShow this thread -
"Notably, PLOS One does not have a standard peer-review process. Rather than requiring articles to be assessed by a group of other experts in the field, a single PLOS One editor assesses only the technical aspects of the study, ignoring subjective or interpretative aspects." 9/

That’s not true at all. PLoS ONE had a standard peer review process albeit one in which reviewers are asked to not evaluate novelty (source: published in and reviewed for it)

I agree with Gary Lupyan here. I've also received three peer reviews for the papers I submitted there; and written reviews for other PLoS one submissions that also received three reviews per article + editorial letter.

Twitter drives me mad when people accidentally/purposefully reply in a non-linear way — hope this helps us! https://twitter.com/twitemp1/status/1036560103200178177 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Actually, I think the fact that the particular paper has probably been reviewed by reviewers + PLoS editor makes the fact that it has been published even worse than if it were the mistake of 1 editor. I agree that the article is fatally flawed & would be in favor of retraction.

I have no idea what PLOS One will do. It's a strange situation. Have we an update?

Replying to @o_guest @LaurelaiBailey1 and
PLoS ONE staff has added a comment that they are having experts look at the methodological concerns: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/comment?id=10.1371/annotation/2a4269d4-90ab-4f26-bf00-1348cc787ca8 … It seems that this may take a while.

Here's a bit more of the current backstory at PLoS ONE; it may also be a good place to look for updates:https://retractionwatch.com/2018/08/29/reader-outcry-prompts-brown-to-retract-press-release-on-trans-teens/ …
