| Topic | Transgender activists force University to take down article on gender dysphoria. |
| CyricZ 08/28/18 7:31:52 AM #10: | I don't agree with the removal of this information, but I think that this article doesn't do any favors for the study of trans people. The article itself states that it's not 100% conclusive, only that it's marking trends. The data is a questionnaire, filled out by parents, not by those suffering from gender dysphoria. The sample size is 256, and the conclusions are things that have already been observed anyway. Being trans leads to worry, anxiety, isolation, and seeking a new group of people to communicate with? You don't say. These are growing pains of young transpeople at this point in history, where society kinda wants to accept them and still kinda weirded out by them. I believe Brown should not have removed this article, nor buckled to the pressure. The way to counter articles like these is not through removal, but rebuttal. There are plenty of people studying transpeople who can work alongside or in opposition to this article for better understanding. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard! |
