Thank you for your piece today, Mona Charen. Lots of people who follow this issue peripherally may not know that the "suppression of competing views" has taken place within the LGBT movement as well as between the queer community and the outside world. Lesbians and gay men who are concerned about an ideology that labels all nontraditional gender behavior in children as signs of trans identity have been quite systematically shut down, cast as transphobic, and effectively exiled from the movement. As a life-long lesbian, I no longer regard myself as a member of this movement. But I'm still concerned about the fact that even as Europeans pay attention to emerging research in this area, progressives in the US refuse to reconsider.
