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

Please allow this study to be published and discussed accurately.

The more research that can be done, the more informed we can be in our response. Let us not be like the Catholic Church who shut down Galileo.

More research is needed.

Why remove legitimate research unless you fear it?

Facts and truth do not care about feelings. If a study finds something factual, it should not be silenced.

Time for political correctness to kiss my ass

Just praying for these lost people. They ALL need Christ.

Gender dysphoria is a mental-emotional disease. Such children deserve our sympathy and support, but NOT to hand them over to homosexual and transgender activists, who appear to view them as merely fodder for pedophilia. Any young person subjected to the hormone/castration treatments invariably collapses into misery with high levels of depression and suicide. Physicians and counsellors who promote this junk-science should be thrown out of the schools, and the procedures allowed only for those unfortunates with physiologically ambiguous genitalia.

It is not ok to remove legitimate research because big pharma/transgender activists don't like what's being said. You are better than that. Please don't let me down.

It is a travesty to censor scientific inquiry because you don’t like the results.

the more we understand the healthier we can be

Science should be free of political pressure to meet certain outcomes. Stifling an undesired result would not be science, and would invalidate any organization so practicing.

I raised my grandchild and I believe the gender dysphoria was "triggered" by being abandoned by her parents.

Scientific research is not about avoiding hurting feelings. Data is data... facts are facts. Censorship is moronic.

I agree, further study is needed.

Facts over feelings in higher education. Glad to see some professors are doing a 'real' job at Brown.

Thank you for allowing research in this area.

If you don't believe the results, conduct your own study and prove that this study and/or results are flawed. But don't squelch this study because it's controversial!

Medical professionals should be bound by their Hippocratic oath to "do no harm." Creating life long medical patients without fully exploring alternatives is unethical, and puts our families, our youth and our communities at risk. Please consider further research into this timely topic.

Most disturbing in a democracy is when special interest try to squash liberty of speech,
