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

Advocating for and facilitating adolescent gender dysphoria is a form of child abuse. It is a topic demanding free and open discussion and debate.

Why suppress parents' data in the quest to better understand the family and cultural forces in this trend?

Freedom.

Science must not be suppressed just because of how the academic authorities believe a study will be used! Brown U here shows that the "scientific consensus" on transgenderism is really one-sided disinformation. Transgender "scientists" must be distrusted until all sides of the story are rigorously and openly told.

This was a brave move on the part of this researcher. It goes against the flow right now and I for one am glad that not all are dumb sheep being led in a path that science does not support.

I oppose academic censorship that silences good data with bias. This cannot be.

Please do not allow public opinion and political correctness to bastardize science!

Although I was not part of this study, its descriptions closely match the experiences of my child.

Research should be published whether or not it agrees with current social climates. Just because it's unpopular doesn't mean the research isn't valid. Censoring research because it is unpopular leads to a less informed population and it also inhibits future research in other unpopular areas.

The truth cannot be suppressed or hidden, this discussion is real and must happen with all research and facts

This research is important to a responsible and accurate look at the truth

Stand tough for academic freedom!

We need to study this phenomenon as well as any other health related issue to determine the true etiologies and potential biological ramifications of such conditions.

As the mother of a trans son who has embraced his transitioning with unwavering love, support, and thoughtfulness, all the while being treated by “the experts” in this field in a condescending and dismissive manner when I’ve asked important questions, I strongly urge you to support this research. There are many truths to these issues, suppressing any in response to bullying is nothing short of shameful. Thank you.

Tell the truth,let the chips fall where they may.

Suppressing well documented and credible research findings will prove to be destructive in the long term. The mental health of our children is too important to trust to feelings over fact.

The public wants and needs transparency and truth in scientific studies. If scientists are going to defy reality, in deference to a group with an agenda, then public funds should be removed from that institution. Taxpayers shouldn’t be obligated to pay for studies that lie to us or for studies that are hidden because protesters insist that we all dwell in their altered state of reality. Either back up your studies, or close your doors!

Scientific inquiry should not be stifled.

Keep politics out of scientific research.

THE THOUGHT CONTROL HAS GONE TOO FAR FOR TOO LONG. PURSUE THE TRUTH WHEREVER IT LEADS US. THANK YOU DR. LITTMAN.
