THREAD: A study contradicting leftist narratives around gender dysphoria has been RETRACTED by the publisher less than 3 months after being published.

Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD), described as a “socially contagious syndrome,” follows a theory proposing that culture, values, and preoccupations cause some youth—especially females—to attribute certain personal issues to gender dysphoria.

ROGD causes youth to “falsely believe” that they are trans, and they must socially and medically transition in order to resolve their issues.

Prior mental issues were common—those with these issues were more likely to transition socially and medically than those without them. Parents often felt pressured by clinicians to go along with these transitions, which considerably WORSENED their child’s mental state.

75% of youths in the study were biological females, who were found to be MUCH more likely to transition socially than biological males.

The increasing number of detransitioners raises questions about the “desirability” of transition, according to the study.

84.3% of survey respondents were mothers reporting on their own children. Likewise, relationships between “trans youth” and their mothers declined more severely than other relationships after transition.

Gender dysphoria tends to appear in girls earlier than boys and for longer periods of time in girls than boys

57% of parents said their child has a history of mental issues. 59.4% of those children were girls, which was slightly higher than those who were boys (51%). The graph below indicates how long mental issues became prevalent before a child’s dysphoria.

Anxiety was the most common symptom prior to dysphoria, which was most common among girls (47.3%) than boys (35.2%). “Difficulty socializing with peers” was the most common symptom among boys (28.1%).
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
72.6% of parents said stressful events in their child’s life may have contributed to the onset of gender dysphoria.

Coming out as a “different gender” rather than the opposite gender was more common among girls than boys. In my eyes, this indicates that “coming out” is often done solely for social gain.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
65.3% of youths had socially transitioned. Of those youth, 65.7% were girls.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Out of all social transition steps, the majority of boys (22.7%) had changed pronouns. The majority of girls (76.8%) had begun “breast binding.”
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Asked to rate the effects of social transition on their child’s dysphoria, anxiety and depression, parents were much more likely to say they had worsened than improved.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
51.8% of parents (out of 390 who answered the question) said they had felt pressure from a “gender clinic or specialist” to socially or medically transition their child. These parents were also more likely to believe their child had deteriorated after transition.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
37.8% of parents said they’d been referred to a gender specialist. 82.3% of girls with a referral had socially transitioned, compared with 54% of girls who didn’t. For boys, those numbers were 44.3% and 21.1%.

👀 55.4% of parents said their child was friends w/ others who “came out as transgender around the same time.” 73.3% of girls w/ transgender friends had taken steps toward social transition, compared with 54% without such friends. For boys, the numbers were 39.5% and 21.7%

“Youths with history of mental health issues were especially likely to have taken steps to socially and medically transition.” 🚨The authors then explain why that is so concerning🚨
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Supposedly, the publisher and editor-in-chief retracted the study in order to protect the “privacy” of the participants, but we ALL know this is purely political. 🚨
