Toronto's own Sophie at We Have Always Existed: Transgender History is warning against trans people participating in an Adolescent and Young Adult Gender Dysphoria Outcomes Study (AYAGDOS) that is being advertised in social media, particularly Reddit.
This study is being conducted by Kenneth Zucker, former psychologist-in-chief at CAMH and head of its Gender Identity Service. The operating environment of the GIS under Zucker has been compared to conversion therapy.
As we have seen with the Cass Report, disingenuous studies are being used by legislators to enact transphobic laws. It's probably wise not to participate in this study, the motivations for it are questionable. It's also something we will want to keep an eye on.
