The international organization for transgender health, WPATH, just shot down the use of the term “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria”.
As they point out, ROGD is not a medical entity recognized by any major professional association:
“it is both premature and inappropriate to employ official-sounding labels that lead clinicians, community members, and scientist to form absolute conclusions about adolescent gender identity development and the factors that may potentially influence the timing of an adolescent’s declaration as a different gender from birth-assigned sex.”
The term is actively used by TERFs and transphobic right wing extremists to invalidate the identity of young transgender people.
