A new paper on Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria

[Ingenieur]

I'm not sure if this paper, which discusses Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria, has been linked yet, but here is a link anyway.

Results focused on 1655 AYA children whose gender dysphoria reportedly began between ages 11 and 21 years, inclusive. These youths were disproportionately (75%) natal female. Natal males had later onset (by 1.9 years) than females, and they were much less likely to have taken steps toward social gender transition (65.7% for females versus 28.6% for males). Pre-existing mental health issues were common, and youths with these issues were more likely than those without them to have socially and medically transitioned. Parents reported that they had often felt pressured by clinicians to affirm their AYA child’s new gender and support their transition. According to the parents, AYA children’s mental health deteriorated considerably after social transition.

The link for me goes to the publisher's home page. I will get the article later, but I did read some excerpts from it yesterday. The one thing I want to check is how they obtained the sample they used in the research. If that's not representative of parents of trans-identifying children in general, then neither might the results be.

As I was scrolling through the thread titles, I misread yours, thinking it said
" ra-pi-st onset Gender Dysphoria "
but come to think of it, that seems to be phenomenon all of it's own too! :-/
