Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria
Miserlou: start page
'''Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD)''' is "a provisional label" that has been used to characterize "a new subgroup of [[adolescents]], mainly biological females, who appear to have a developmental history leading to [[gender dysphoria]] that has not been previously described", according to [[Kenneth Zucker]], professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at the [[University of Toronto]] and editor-in-chief of [[Archives of Sexual Behavior]]<ref name="NR"></ref>. The term is used to describe the phenomenon of people, usually younger people, who suddenly begin to report symptoms of gender dysphoria and begin to self identify as [[transgender]] after displaying no previous signs of gender identity uncertainty. It has been suggested that rapid onset gender dysphoria could be a "social coping mechanism" for other disorders, such as [[depression]] and [[anxiety]].
==Publication controversy==
The term was first used by [[Lisa Littman]], an American physician and researcher at the School of Public Health at [[Brown University]] at a 2017 conference, and then again in a 2018 paper published in the free online journal of science, ''[[PLOS One]]''. The publication of the paper [[Lisa_Littman#Publishing_controversy|lead to controversy]] about both the methods used in the study and academic freedom once pressure from online activists led to a retraction of a press release by Brown University and an internal review from the journal.<ref name=Wadman></ref>
==Controversy==
Aside from the controversy of the methods of the original papers and the academic freedoms around it, the phenomenon itself has been a source of heated discussion. The phenomenon has been called both "a poisonous lie used to discredit trans people" in the [[op-ed]] section of [[The Guardian]]<ref></ref>, but also an explanation for the experiences of multiple parents writing in the [[op-ed]] section of the [[Wall Street Journal]]<ref></ref><ref></ref> and online support communities<ref></ref>. Activist publications have called ROGD "anti-trans"<ref></ref> and "bad science"<ref></ref> and a "conservative invention"<ref name="NR"></ref>.
