As Singal demonstrated, GLAAD appears to have taken this tactic when adding him to a list of people it claims \u201cspread misinformation and harm LGBTQ people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GLAAD made three separate claims about Singal, which he disputed point by point in his Substack post. The first claim was that Singal \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/magazine\/archive\/2018\/07\/when-a-child-says-shes-trans\/561749\/\">Wrote\u2014without evidence\u2014in a cover story for The Atlantic, that<\/a>&nbsp; \u201cTrauma, particularly sexual trauma, can contribute to or exacerbate [gender] dysphoria in some patients.\u201d As Singal explained, he has already addressed criticism of this line, noting that those who criticize him for it \u201care completely unfamiliar with the literature on gender dysphoria and rarely, if ever, talk to the youth gender clinicians I\u2019ve spent dozens of hours interviewing and otherwise interacting with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the clinicians Singal quotes is Diane Ehrensaft, a hero in the LGBT community, who wrote in her 2011 book \u201cGender Born, Gender Made: Raising Healthy Gender-nonconforming Children\u201d that children <em>do<\/em>, sometimes, develop gender dysphoria after trauma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are also children who suddenly show up with a gender issue after a trauma and with no previous history of gender bending. Here, too, we may be seeing children who are expressing other troubles through gender. For example, the three-year-old who suddenly announces that he is a girl after losing his mother to sudden death may be in a desperate emotional search to reclaim his lost mother by becoming her, rather than in a journey toward discovering his true gender self,\u201d Ehrensaft wrote in her book.<\/p>\n<p>Singal noted that Ehrensaft made similar comments in her second book as well.<\/p>\n<p>The second claim from GLAAD is that Singal \u201cAdmitted&nbsp;to wildly misinterpreting a study on trans kids that he relied on for the article. Singal had wrongly claimed that adolescent patients who did not return to a clinic for gender dysphoria had \u2018desisted\u2019 and no longer desired to change genders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Singal explained that this claim is based on a falsehood that has been circulating online for years. In 2018, Singal <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@jesse.singal\/everyone-myself-included-has-been-misreading-the-single-biggest-study-on-childhood-gender-8b6b3d82dcf3\">wrote<\/a> a Medium post about misreading \u201cthe single biggest published study on childhood gender dysphoria desistance and persistence.\u201d He later updated the title to say the study \u201coffers stronger evidence for desistance than we thought\u201d because people like those at GLAAD didn\u2019t read the article and simply assumed he was admitting to including wrong information in his article. GLAAD, despite claiming that its list includes members\u2019 own words, linked to a Daily Dot article that completely twisted Singal\u2019s admission about misinterpreting the study. The Daily Dot insisted that he misinterpreted the study and therefore children do not desist from gender dysphoria, when in fact, Singal\u2019s misreading of the study showed the exact opposite.<\/p>\n<p>The final claim from GLAAD is that Singal \u201cParrots the notion of \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/magazine\/archive\/2018\/07\/when-a-child-says-shes-trans\/561749\/\">social contagion<\/a>\u2019 [sic] the baseless theory that kids are somehow being \u2018influenced by the gender-identity exploration they\u2019re seeing online and perhaps at school or in other social settings, rather than experiencing gender dysphoria.\u2019\u201d By the time Singal posted his Substack piece, GLAAD had changed the claim to read: \u201cExplains the unproven theory of \u2018social contagion\u2019 [sic] the unproven theory\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Singal quoted his own Atlantic article, which included information from \u201ca leading gender clinician, a young trans man, and a former trans boy\u201d who all said the same thing: They have seen instances where some people seem to be claiming they are transgender simply for social reasons.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
