Please read this substack article, and share…it’s important.

SAFETY WARNING!!!

A study called "Adolescent and Young Adult Gender Dysphoria Outcomes Study or AYAGDOS" is currently recruiting transgender youth and young adults. Multiple trans-led organizations and advocates are urging families not to participate, due to serious concerns about the researchers involved and how this data may be used to undermine gender-affirming care.

This is not a neutral or harmless study.

A link to a longer piece explaining what’s going on, who’s behind it, and why families should be cautious before participating in any trans-related research is in the comments.

Please share so families can make informed, protective decisions for their kids. 🏳️‍⚧️

Happy new year to all our followers! MCSSP has been going through some important updates and has been dark on social media as a result. Soon we will have a robust website and plan to take ourselves off social media. Rest assured we are here, fully functioning, and doing all we can to educate, protect and support our q***r community and allies. Sending love and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
