Episode notes
Flawed Evidence From Parent‑Only Surveys
- Littman’s 2018 study surveyed parents from anti‑trans forums and therefore reflects parental anxieties, not adolescents’ experiences.
- The paper’s methods and sampling biased its conclusions toward the ROGD narrative.
From Study To Gatekeeping Argument
- Littman concluded clinicians should distrust adolescent self‑report and treat parental accounts as red flags.
- That framing effectively advocates more gatekeeping and parental control over youth care.
Problematic Co‑Author Damages Credibility
- J. Michael Bailey co‑authored a 2023 ROGD paper despite a controversial history and prior scandals.
- His past work and conduct (including the “fucksaw” incident) undermined the study’s credibility.
