question 36

Multiple Choice

In surveys of parents with children with rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) , the parents cited causative factors including prior mental health disorders and strong influence from social media. Given the current status of research on ROGD, a concerned parent in dealing with an ROGD child, might be advised to employ

• A) the watchful waiting model because most children will outgrow ROGD around puberty.
• B) the watchful waiting model because most children will outgrow social media and embrace their natal-sex identity.
• C) the gender-affirmative model of care because it is up to the child, not the parents, to choose their correct sexual identity.
• D) the gender-affirmative model of care because allowing the child to embrace their chosen sexual identity will eliminate their mental health problems.
• E) neither of these models because ROGD studies are highly controversial and strict adherence to either model has risks and is likely to confuse the child.
