Just wanted to share because this hasn't been discussed in major US outlets much. Hopefully WSJ will get the topic some more attention.

Worth noting: Julia Mason, one of the article writers, belongs to SEGM, which I personally would regard as a LGB ally given how much they've supported and shared about research studies highlighting that LGB minors are highly represented among detransitioners.

Other recent threads about this:

In this latest study, he cites three sources suggesting that respondents interpret “sex” as “sex assigned at birth”—even though none of those studies says anything of the sort.

For genderists, when it comes to what's "assigned at birth", it's sex. But when it comes to "transitioning" from what they were "assigned" as, it's somehow gender. So, which is it? I thought those were considered different things to them and not synonyms.

They have moved to claiming sex is a social construct and gender is innate as a way to justify the entire transition process.
