1/ Look who's in the convo--all adult-transitioning MTFs (+ Zack Ford), STILL trying to force @PLOSONE to retract a study they don't like: about gender dysphoria in (mostly) FEMALE youth. Demanding access to the data, that the paper be retracted, hounding @BrownUniversity 
2/ Let's put a fine point on it. These are the ppl who can't abide an INITIAL DESCRIPTIVE STUDY that surveyed parents of rapid-onset dysphoric teens. Two MTF journalists, MTF Zinnia Jones, Zack Ford, and Rachel Health, the MTF author of a "Handbook of Transsexuality."
3/ Study was "designed to ruin the lives of young gender-diverse people." Really? Let's talk about the lives ruined by the relentless witchhunt led by adult-trans'ing MTFs, against families, desisters, & a new population of females who've heretofore been ignored by researchers.
4/ Do these ppl *really* believe, in their heart of hearts, that they are protecting young dysphoric females from an ogreish researcher and terrible parents? The ferocity of their response to an initial, exploratory study is completely out of proportion.
