It has long been known that liberals like to twist facts and skew data to support their agenda.
But how far are they willing to go in order to convince the world of their façade when it comes to confusion with one’s identity?
The answer is a horrifying. Logic, reason, and empirical evidence are laughed at when it goes against what they want to be true.
Brown University published an article in PLoS ONE, the Public Library of Science peer reviewed journal, that proved that adolescents suddenly became transgender mainly due to peer and societal influence.
Heading up the research is Brown University’s very own Dr. Lisa Littman, a physician and researcher.
To the dismay of many of a sound mind, Brown University removed support of the article and issued multiple apologies for the article being submitted in the first place.
Daily Wire reported:
“After a complaint was launched, reportedly by trans activists, Brown University suddenly withdrew a press release touting a research study from its own researcher about children who experienced “rapid-onset gender dysphoria” for the first time when they were hanging around one or more friends who had become gender dysphoric and were transgender-identified.”
This is beyond nonsensical! The article was reviewed by other academic scholars before publishing, as well as having to go through the rigorous review by the publishing institution.
Dr. Littman tweeted about the article being removed for the mere and appalling reason that a bunch of trans-genders had a hissy fit.
This is quite unbelievable. @LisaLllittman is an academic researcher at Brown University. Her OWN University has taken down their link to her peer-reviewed article on Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria, after pressure from trans activists.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time, nor the last time that sound reason is going to be rocked by the squeaky wheel that is the left.
A link to the article was tweeted by Brown on August 23rd, where they were seemingly proud of Littman’s accomplishment:
“A Brown University researcher has published the 1st study to empirically describe teens and young adults without symptoms of gender dysphoria during childhood, who rapidly developed gender dysphoria symptoms during or after puberty @LisaLllittman @PLOSONE https://t.co/11qK9KYpFX
— Brown Public Health (@HealthyBrown) August 23, 2018”
The tweet was later removed after complaints from the LGBT community began pouring in.
On September 5th, Brown University wrote a more detailed response on their website explaining their “reason” for removing support of the article.
It was quite lengthy, but should have been shortened to “we are scared of backlash from liberals.”
One Twitter user responded in a similar fashion, saying that the removal of the article was cowardly, and that he will not be considering Brown University as a choice for his children:
Oy, @BrownUniversity, is there a *valid* reason you cowardly removed reference to @LisaLllittman‘s seminal paper on #ROGD? One more university crossed off the list for any of my children.

Littman herself received countless verbal assaults for “suggesting” that transgenders are not born that way, and that they would claim to be transgender simply because of peer-pressure, reports The National Post.
However, it should also be noted that many experts in the field of gender dysphoria applauded Littman’s findings.
Reality check to all those in opposition to the study, these are not Littman’s personal opinions, but empirically proven factors.
As reported by the Daily Wire, the abstract for the paper read:
“In on-line forums, parents have been reporting that their children are experiencing what is described here as “rapid-onset gender dysphoria,” appearing for the first time during puberty or even after its completion. The onset of gender dysphoria seemed to occur in the context of belonging to a peer group where one, multiple, or even all of the friends have become gender dysphoric and transgender-identified during the same timeframe. Parents also report that their children exhibited an increase in social media/internet use prior to disclosure of a transgender identity. The purpose of this study was to document and explore these observations and describe the resulting presentation of gender dysphoria, which is inconsistent with existing research literature.”
These findings seem to indicate what many from outside the bubble of confusion have suspected in that gender dysphoria is a societal trend with dangerous repercussions.
Littman herself feels the same sentiments about what was discovered, according to The Daily Wire, saying:
“Disparagement of heterosexuals and “cisgenders” is rife. Contempt for parents is encouraged. Feelings of victimhood are promoted. These echo chambers can be harmful, because teens are encouraged to cut themselves off from their nurturing support systems.”
It is extremely sad for the parents of these confused young people to see their children go through these trials, denying everything they had known, because of peer-pressure.
Then to have strangers in society, who have no interest in your child’s life, but only in the spread of damaging ideals, speak publicly against these findings is awful.
The research conducted by Littman is probably a first of its kind because researchers don’t want to put in the time just to have their efforts squashed by liberal media and liberal bullies.
In the future the truths surrounding the LGBT community will become self-evident, and then it will be difficult for society to deny the damages.
Please let us know in the comments section what you think about Brown University going back on their support for Littman’s article.
