ROGD is a serious condition as ultimately followed to it’s logical conclusion young women have their breasts removed and a penis constructed where a large piece of their flesh from their forearm (usually) is used to create it. If you google the photos showing how much of their flesh is used it is truly horrifying. This is so radical, to desperately want to change a perfectly healthy body that it needs to be examined very carefully.

The trans lobby may be in denial but it is very clear to anyone looking dispassionately at raw data that there has been an enormous increase in teenage girls and young women suddenly wanting to become men after showing no signs of unhappiness with their sex/gender as a child. ROGD has already been the focus of a study by a professor at Brown University in the USA (a member of the Ivy League). She of course has come under heavy criticism and attack because it is a tenant of the transactivist ideology that they actually resist and prevent meaningful scientific study of trans issues.

it seems utterly insane not to acknowledge the possibility and investigate further. If only to rule it out.

Indeed. It's almost like there is an agenda somewhere.

I don't know whether ROGT is real or not. But I do know that, considering other things that occur in clusters among teenagers-self harm, suicide, eating disorders, being a Goth- it seems utterly insane not to acknowledge the possibility and investigate further. If only to rule it out.

Trevor Phillip tells it like it is. Great article. Thanks Ereshkigal. As for the ‚ROGD does not exist‘ article: concluding that without a scientific study that demonstrates it, is anti-science. How narcissist must people be that they declare something impossible, and move heaven and earth to prevent scientists from looking into whether it is possible, just because it was not their personal experience?
That demonstrates better than anything else that we are dealing with a mental pathology when it comes to the TRA bubble, a pathology that sure as hell must not dictate policies, no matter how often they threaten suicide.

Amazing how people always know other people's identity is wrong if it doesn't tow the current party line.
