Many people go exploration/discovery of their sexuality and sexual drives at this age, some are clearly catalysed in different directions by circumstance. Some of these circumstances can be inappropriate or harmful. These children need the right support to unpack their understanding of their gender.

Stop caving to violent trans-activists. Support academic freedom. This is about finding the truth; it shouldn’t be a left-right proxy battle. Lifelong Democrat here!

A rigours academic study SHOULD be published even if the information or conclusion is not something the majority of people want to hear. Science should be objective and not subjective based on people opinions.

Please encourage research into ROGD. Children should not be harmed in order to justify the sexual fetish of older men.

This study is merely a collection of factual data, and so there is no reason for the study to have been pulled.

Scientific journals should not decide on publication based on the latest political and social trends.

Science should not be done by activists using as criterion for quality political correctness. This is a peer reviewed study. Further *peer reviewed* research will show its long term merit.

Please find the truth. Our children are suffering. They are so vulnerable. Where are the sensible professionals to guide them?

I am a parent of a 19 year old with Aspergers who is transitioning from male to female. There needs to be more research as to why this is happening. This study does not need to be stopped. It needs to go further. There is also a high suicide rate of transgender Aspergers.

Truth and trasparency must reign in research. If we will accept political persuasion in conducting or reporting, then we fail science. Let the reseach stand—don’t cave to social and political pressure.

There’s just not enough research on this, and it’s disgusting activists don’t want people to look into it, possibly out of fear that it will be discovered that a trans mental state is a mental illness

We must not suppress scientific truth, even when it is not the result we preferred.

Let us not be denialists of science, especially biology, let us embrace thoroughly researched science using many, many factors.
