An academic journal has retracted an article on young people whose parents believe they have developed gender dysphoria because of social contagion. The theory is known as rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD).
“It’s easy to study things that make people happy. It’s much harder to study things that are bound to make at least some people unhappy,” one of the study’s authors, Northwestern University Professor J. Michael Bailey, told The Epoch Times in a June 16 interview.
