It's absolutely true that any research on "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" (ROGD) is met with strong opposition in the general academic community.
Wikipedia has a good summary of the issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_...ia_controversy
Merely investigating whether ROGD is a valid condition is viewed as a form of transphobia. Several studies have been conducted on ROGD and subsequently retracted after the studies were picked apart post-publication. You would never see such intense scrutiny (and retraction) of a scientific study that was investigating whether there was such a thing as something like "rapid-onset gambling disorder" - even if there was less evidence for rapid-onset gambling disorder.
It seems that there is significant push-back on any studies that might suggest that gender dysphoria could be temporary because it lends credence to the idea that being transgender is something that can be "overcome" or "grown out of" rather than an inborn characteristic.
One journalist who has written extensively about this issue is Jesse Singal. He wrote a very long piece for the Atlantic called "When Children Say They're Trans."
Singal is a left-wing journalist who hosts a podcast with a lesbian ("Blocked & Reported" with Katie Herzog). However, he has become a target of the trans community for this piece (and related articles).
Here's what slate had to say about the article:
I'm baffled. I've read the piece and several of Singal's follow-ups. I'm just not seeing what the critics are seeing. I think Singal's reporting has been balanced and fair on this issue.The problems with Jesse Singal’s cover story for the Atlantic, “When Children Say They’re Trans,” have a way of creeping up on you. It purports to be a nuanced portrayal of a thorny issue: parents who want to do right by their trans and gender nonconforming kids, navigating a system and a society not necessarily optimized for that. But as the piece goes on—notably without a single happy, well-adjusted trans teen among its host of central characters for the first 9,000-plus words—it becomes apparent that certain voices and fears are privileged over others. This, unfortunately, is a trend that can be seen throughout Singal’s history of biased reporting on trans lives.
As always, South Park was way ahead of the curve here with their character P.C. Principal calling everyone a "transphobe." Amazingly, these clips are from 5 years ago!
I don't get it is the right for cancel culture or against it?
It seems like most things on the right, it is a one way hypocritical street.
They hate it when it happens to them,
But then they censure every politician that didn't go along w/Trump's lie.
(You know the lie that he won, when he lost badly. In a landslide, in fact.)
But, this is the shit that won't fly, anymore,
The right wants Cuomo to be silenced for 3 women he said inappropriate things to?
LOL, but Trump's 24 allegations are "canceled"? (for lack of a better word)
The left won't care about allegations from the right, when the right doesn't
hold their people accountable for the same thing. (Before you say the left doesn't; Al Franken & Avenatti.
We kick our scumbags to the curb, but Jason Miller, who slipped his mistress an abortion pill is Trump's #1 guy, now.
And Bill O'Rielly is back in RW media. )

What I don’t understand is how some consider transgenderism a trend. Trends tend to be frivolous and have some perceived benefit however small. A pot at the end of the rainbow does not await someone who realizes they are different in this way. Almost the opposite.
It used to be gays. Suicide was not uncommon for those who faced with all the glory of coming out back when.
I have no doubt more are emboldened to take this dramatic action than ever before but to imagine this is fashionable or anything of the sort is foolishness .
they don't gotta burn the books
they just remove em

A more insidious result is the ability to lower the number of fertile females to shrink or reverse population growth which is the ultimate goal of these technocrats and far leftists. The goal is to shrink global population to their sustainable goal of 1B maybe slightly less. This Keeps up it’ll be Logan’s Run in another 100yrs or less.

Wow, this book has caused some serious damage per the Twitter account of American Booksellers Association @ABAbook
“LGBTQIA+”? I had just gotten used to using “LGBTQ” instead of “LGBT”! Can’t someone come up with an all inclusive term instead of the ever-expanding collection of letters? If this keeps up much longer, we’re gonna need to start borrowing some letters from another alphabet!
