The suppression of research by universities because of ideological objections has become an epidemic.

This research is imperative. Children are being brainwashed into this behavior as into a cult. I have seen it with my own eyes.

Many of us parents have been pressured into allowing our children to take hormones and have surgeries with little to no indepth diagnosis. I was told "just give it to him. If he's not really trans he won't like it and will stop". This in my opinion borders on malpractice. People are suffering. Different views must be allowed. Stop this censorship.

All theories need to be backed by research in order to be taken seriously. Blocking research because of political pressure is against the principles of free investigation.

If the study is correct then the truth shouldn’t be hidden. If it’s false then it needs to be exposed. Either way, hiding a study because you’re afraid of the results is wrong.

Don't not publish research just because it upsets some people, please. People are going to be upset either way, but maybe we could also find out what's really going on.

This research is deeply needed. Please continue Dr Littman. The objective of science should be to persue all truth, not just that which supports one narrative.

We can NOT have our science community become corrupt with political influences that try to prevent the truth

We cannot block the truth simply because the lgbti community chooses to be offended by facts. Facts not feelings.
