I’m a #transgender person who came out and sought gender-affirming care in my early 30s, and I hadn’t spoken to anyone about it up until that point in my life. To everyone else, it probably seemed a lot like my onset of gender dysphoria was pretty rapid, but it was something I had struggled with for most of my life without really being able to understand it or even put a name to it.

New Study Undermines Assumptions of ‘Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria’

The research brings into question the UK's Cass Review and subsequent restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender youth

Prism & Pen

And for a deeper side of 1980s' Estonian children's TV, here's a 1989 puppet show about a boy who was assigned a monster at birth, but showed persistent disturbingly un-monster-like qualities, disturbing both his monstrous parents and his schoolteachers. Eventually, he discovers that his best friend from the monster school has transitioned to human, so he decides that he, too, would rather be a human.

I guess it's a parody of #ROGD from almost 30 years before some monster conjured that booger up.

Debunked: Misleading NYT Anti-Trans Article By Pamela Paul Relies On Pseudoscience

The opinion piece by Pamela Paul relies on routinely debunked disinformation and gets factual information wrong about transgender care. It is the latest NYT published piece to do so.

erininthemorning.com/p/debunke…

Her first source, used to support "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria," is an article by Lisa Littman that has been retracted. Littman is notably one of the only researchers to argue for the theory, which has been repeatedly dismissed for lacking factual support and for recruiting subjects from anti-trans websites.
A study in the prestigious journal Pediatrics entirely debunked the concept of ROGD, determining that most transgender people know their gender identity for years before they come out and seek treatment for gender dysphoria. When transgender people finally do come out, many are overjoyed to finally reveal their true self to the world around them - to others, however, the process may seem “rapid.” To ascertain whether transgender identification occurs "rapidly," researchers directly asked transgender teenagers: "How long have you known you were transgender?" They discovered that on average, transgender people know their gender identity for four years before first coming out and presenting for treatment.

next time someone talks to you about Social Contagion, just show them these two pictures and ask them to describe to you what is the difference between them.

No "Social Contagion" - Gender Transition Rates Reach Equilibrium In New Study

Despite claims of "exploding rates of being trans" and "rapid social contagion," a new Swedish study seems to hint that we have reached an equilibrium of gender transitions.

"Evidence Undermines 'Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria' Claims... Fears of 'social contagion, used to support anti-transgender legislation, are not supported by science"

There is no such syndrome as 'Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria'. It doesn't even qualify as a scientific hypothesis.
