A research review in 2018 suggests that increased scientific attention has resulted in greater understanding of gender non-conforming youth. That progress will stop and reverse under Trump. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29071722/ (2/7)

@VildaRosenblad @aoifesimone @ncjunk @freyjamidgard @JamesEsses How can you write out that first sentence then consider affirmative approach to be wrong. It is indeed helping them figure it out, not telling them they're wrong. Which is proven to be harmful. Affirmative approaches are the best practice worldwide. https://t.co/tO8iD7x8kX
