Brown University and PLoS ONE: Defend academic freedom and scientific inquiry

I support scientific experiments and data.

Money maked the world go around, money talks. Politicians, religions, social medias run on money received by people's interest on ANY subjects, no matter what the concequences may or might be for hearth and all living creatures on it. So if there is money(votes) involved, they will not care about Young humans' mental health in a HELPFUL way. Any real scientist like Dr.Littman should be able to do there studies without interference, because our planet Survival depends on it (humans included).

These incidents are being encouraged mostly by adults who are gay transgender etc, they are pushing their views and problems onto innocent kids, who will bear the brunt of their stupidity

Dr Littman’s paper begins an important discussion. As medical professionals we agree to “first do no harm.” Let’s encourage dialogue and learn from it.

This is a new area of study, and both sides should be looked at scientifically. Parents who are dealing with these issues should be informed about rapid onset gender dysphoria so that they can work through these issues with their teens before making permanent and radical medical decisions.

I am appalled this study had been surpressed. I am the mother of an 11 yr old girl who has recently expressed rapid onset gender dysphoria. My concern is my child’s welfare and there is much research to be done in this field.

it's just common sense. what's next, soviet censorship and repression?

.

Science should be measured by how well it holds up to peer review and not political outrage. I am also ashamed that the political environment is so toxic that I am afraid to have my name publicly visible. Summer Eiman - Queer Voices radio KPFT.

Parent of an ASD adopted son who was abused as a baby. Struggles with "transgenderism". It is a SHAME that these "educated elites" are hiding this truth from the public. Obviously they are more concerned with an agenda than they are with the mental health of young children and teens. So sad. So typical.

I support Lisa Littman of Brown University and her study on rapid onset gender dysphoria. The study is to protect our children and our next generation.

What is the agenda for suppressing this research?

Total Academic Freedom is absolute . Anything else is fascistoid. Political Correctness from the "Right " or the " Left " have no place in Free Science.

Academic freedom is important. Free research can ultimately only help trans people

We don’t treat any other mental disorder by affirming the individual’s distorted thinking. Allowing children like this to be mutilated & disfigured for life is simply horrific abuse. Please don’t hinder research for a healing answer for their mental disorder, instead of this “pc” non-medical coercion.

Science should not be politicized. Findings should be published regardless of whether it supports or contradicts an existing narrative. That's the whole point of science.

For the freedom of science.

More studies should be done. The alternative is catastrophic!

Diversity of thought is the only true diversity. Truth and facts matter.

Science should never be squelched due to politics.
