    I didn’t say it shouldn’t be scientifically studied. It definitely should be, especially the extremely high rates of comorbid mental illnesses in trans/non-binary people.

    The article you linked states that gender is now commonly considered a social construct rather than tied to your biological sex. They are making the distinction so that there is no confusion when reading their papers.

    The science is not settled, they are conceding that the common use of the term now has a different meaning than it did in the past.

      The science is indeed settled. Asserting once again it’s not or that trans/nb people are mentally ill is both scientifically inaccurate and morally wrong. Unless, of course, you have literally any source claiming otherwise?

      I thought not.

        Lol you can provide the source as you’re the one claiming it’s settled.

        Your link does not show that it is settled. It states that they are changing their policy on what gendered terms mean in their reports.
