Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria: Fictional Truth or Truly Fictional (69)
"Rapid onset gender dysphoria" sounds urgent, but is it even real? In this episode of Gender Matters: Insights from a Physician, I trace the origins of the term, explore why it resonates with some parents, and explain why the science does not support it.
We look at how the idea caught on, what is missing from the research, and what is actually happening when teens come out. Spoiler: it is not rapid, and it is definitely not simple.
Whether you are a provider, a parent, or just curious, this episode will help you move beyond headlines and toward understanding.
