My Research on Gender Dysphoria Was Censored. But I Won’t Be. Trans activists forced the retraction of my paper. Their efforts have redoubled my commitment to the truth.

I am a professor of psychology at Northwestern University. I have been a professor for 34 years, and a researcher for 40. Over the decades, I have studied controversial topics—from IQ, to sexual orientation, to transsexualism (what we called transgenderism before 2015), to pedophilia. I have published well over 100 academic articles. I am best known for studying sexual orientation —from genetic influences, to childhood precursors of homosexuality, to laboratory-measured sexual arousal patterns.

My research has been denounced by people of all political stripes because I have never prioritized a favored constituency over the truth.

But I have never had an article retracted. Until now.

On March 29, I published an article in the prestigious academic journal Archives of Sexual Behavior . Less than three months later, on June 14, it was retracted by Springer Nature Group , the giant academic publisher of Archives, for an alleged violation of its editorial policies.

Retraction of scientific articles is associated with well-deserved shame: plagiarism , making up data , or grave concerns about the scientific integrity of a study. But my article was not retracted for any shameful reason. It was retracted because it provided evidence for an idea that activists hate.

The retracted article, “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria: Parent Reports on 1655 Possible Cases,” was coauthored with Suzanna Diaz, who I met in 2018 at a small meeting of scientists, journalists, and parents of children they believed had Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD).

Two gay gene hoaxes later-there are no genetic influences to be found. Given the decades old twins’ studies, they won’t be finding genetic born that way unless they change the meaning of the word genetic.

Good article and great comments...

Thanks for posting!

I thought Democrats were committed to science.

All democrats have a mental disorder of some sort and the gender stuff just happens to be their illness of choice these days.

Hysterics don’t like being called hysterics. But the fact is, these girls who are suddenly transitioning are the same girls who would have had anorexia in the 1980s, fainted over the Beatles in the 1960s, started meowing in the 1840s, been tormented by witches in the 1690s, danced themselves to death in 1518, seen ghosts, aliens, or demons whenever her friends did, had seizures and fits when the doctors pronounced it likely, laughed maniacally when the rest of the peer group laughed maniacally, and twitched, scratched, or cried whenever that was the order of the day. Young women are susceptible to pretty much any stupid trend that will garner attention.

Cherie Calbom in her 2005 book, The Coconut Oil Diet, shares what was known about coconut oil, the history, and the trans fats debacle that’ll tell someone all they need to know about how the system works. She was published and corporations went apoplectic. She shares what she went through because of her research that they never wanted to get out.

I remember the story of how a couple of scientists killed the AIDS virus with an electrical current that. For being thrilled with the breakthrough, it was retracted by them publicly and forcefully the next day. At the same time, I knew from missionaries about people in Africa getting healed by touching electrified fences.

Something a friend once said. Thanks for the warning.

Back in the early 1990’s, I had severe depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, and was ready to die.

I was pulling the gas stove out from the kitchen wall and lifted the top of the stove with the burners to get a good hold to pull it out.

I reached right into the electronic ignitors with both hands. The shock knocked me on my butt on the floor.

Instantly I felt wonderful and full of energy. The chronic fatigue and depression were totally gone.

The shock knocked a demonic spirit out of ne. I felt it leave me. It hung around me and tried to get back in, but I blocked it with prayer.

Later on, it moved into a woman I was working with and took over her body and spoke through her voice. It screamed and yelled at me,saying its mission was to kill me. It was all two of us could do to hold this woman down. This was one of my first exorcisms. The words just flowed out of my mouth to do the work.

I tape recorded the entire session and the friend who was with me published a transcript of the taped session, including all the demon’s howling and moaning in her book on Spirit Depossession.

The old shock therapy did far more than they realized. Problem was, the demonic spirits returned to the person soon after.

Thank you for sharing that! Enlightening. They’ve known for probably 100+ years about frequency and diseases. Consider the lilies of the field and juxtapose it to 5G and cloning. All those disembodied spirits from the flood want a home and hate that we have one.

I feel viruses as having a separate consciousness from the person they infect. When I reach into a virus it feels like a swarm of gnats. Totally different than the host.
