Conclusion
Rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) describes a phenomenon where the development of gender dysphoria is observed to begin suddenly during or after puberty in an adolescent or young adult who would not have met criteria for gender dysphoria in childhood. ROGD appears to represent an entity that is distinct from the gender dysphoria observed in individuals who have previously been described as transgender. The worsening of mental well-being and parent-child relationships and behaviors that isolate AYAs from their parents, families, non-transgender friends and mainstream sources of information are particularly concerning. More research is needed to better understand this phenomenon, its implications and scope.

I hope this brings ROGD into more public discourse.

I was not part of this study but I’m another parent voice to agree.

I'm two thirds through it and the part that alarms me most is the testimony from parents about how the teenagers use copy and pasted language from online. They've been GROOMED.
They display disdain for heterosexuals and one girl called her mum a 'breeder'. They behave like people who've joined a cult.
Its absolutely chilling reading but essential to share widely especially to parents so they can be forewarned.

Oh look, it’s that MH condition that TRAs insisted was made up by hysterical, hateful terfs who want to stop kids being their authentic mermaidy selves!

It’s a good job that real evidence doesn’t take magical thinking into account 🙂
