ROGD-Fake Science Strikes again

[MarcieMarie12]

You might see this come up, one of my transactivist friends has heard of "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria" at school board meetings she has been involved with as well. The article below kind of explains what the flaws and biases were done in that "study".

Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria is what happened to me IRL.  The moment I heard the term Gender Dysphoria which was coined about the time I was 50 years old I knew that I had it.  (Said with an ironic sneer on my face.)  The Dysphoria had been present, but defined as a group of other feelings and problems that had been my constant companions since early childhood. 

 

Parents who think that GD is shameful and the result of poor parenting, or who have not or cannot be educated to accepting that GD is just a normal variation of healthy young people and have hidden the  possibility from their lives are the ones to embrace the ROGD model.  Flat Earth and Creation Science believers are highly receptive to the idea that GD is catching and a disease to be pitied or eradicated.  It takes the parents by surprise, not the children, because the parents are ignorant, scared and ashamed of the idea.

An excellent analysis of this new term being bandied about.  Thanks for posting the link, Marcie.

This sounds more like a diagnosis for those we TELL. 

 

Trans person: "I'm transgender". 

Cis person:  "Oh my goodness!!!  But you've never exhibited any signs of being trans [confused expression]  Hummm.  It must be Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria". 

Trans person: "I think you mean, Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria AWARENESS".  Your head might implode now"

 

Copied and saved the article for the next idiot I run into who argues this nonsense.  Thanks Marcie.

That is indeed the point that I have seen in other articles on the ROGD, you have just said it much more simply and directly.

And that the study was done on those visiting sites that espoused the ROGD model, you do have selection bias in the results.

Yes, an overwhelming defect in the "study".

Brown University which published the item by Littman on ROGD has decided to do the right thing since valid scientific concerns were presented to it.

That's a good start. Good for Brown!
