@sophiesometimes Yep. That's their whole, stupid, worthless agenda. It's the climate science muddying-the-waters strategy from the '90s all over again.

Also, if this pisses you off and you want to fight it, I gave a talk about this last spring. You can read it here:

I had to cut the names of Bailey, Zucker, and Littman (and about two dozen others) simply for space, because I only had a 15-minute time slot, but they're who I'm talking about.

Anyway, in short:

I'd bet a lot of actual money that the aim of their "study" is to show that trans youth are just sex perverts who "need to be abused back into their AGABs." That's the intersection of each of their wheelhouses.

Avoid at all costs.

Regardless, here it is. They wanna drill people about their sex lives; it's intending to paint us as sex perverts.

Also, fucking lol, they're even using Littman's disastrously discredited "ask transphobic parents an online survey" method. I bet they know they won't get hardly any actual trans people.

Littman hardly needs an introduction at this point, but this excellent article by Evan Urquhart talking to Zinnia Jones on the scope and scale of her trash science is a great primer.

Zucker, meanwhile, is a hardcore conversion therapy advocate, and doesn't seem to believe that trans people exist AT ALL.

For those who don't know: J Michael Bailey is best known for The Man Who Would Be Queen, a profoundly transphobic scree that represents itself as scientific despite having zero scientific references in it.

Here's a summary of the mess for those who don't know:

https://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/LynnsReviewOfBaileysBook.html

He's also a leading proponent of Blanchardism, & insists that the overwhelming majority of trans women are just sex perverts.

Meanwhile, J Michael Bailey is the PI for this study, and Kenneth Zucker is part of it, and their study won't even describe trans people as trans--they use "gender dysphoric youth."

This is 100% a study that's gonna try and prove that conversion therapy is effective.

Aside from the obvious "don't trust someone who's trying to genocide us," part, Littman is infamous for putting her thumb on the scale in her research. Her "ROGD" study is a perfect example--she designed the methodology from the outset to show the result she wanted, not reality.

And finally, the smaller the participant pool for whatever garbage pseudoscience they're trying to cook up here, the easier it is for the scientific community to just ignore our of hand. If they can only recruit like 20 people, she can't show significance for anything.

If they gets several hundred, we have to go in an actually pull apart their idiot methods to show how "yes, this junk science was designed to fail from the outset; it can be safely ignored."

Dismissing their "findings" as insignificant is easier. And more insulting to them.

Hey, pals, this study is headed by J Michael Bailey, Kenneth Zucker, and Lisa Littman, noted transphobes and pseudoscientist. Littman in particular ison the advisory board for the genocidal anti-trans group GENSPECT.

Do not, under any circumstance, participate in this junk study.
