Editor's Note: An assistant professor at Brown University published a study this month in a peer-reviewed journal presenting evidence that rapid-onset gender dysphoria in teen-agers and young adults who didn't show any symptoms of it in childhood may be tied to binge-watching transgender-oriented YouTube videos and engaging in transgender-oriented online friend groups.
The descriptions of how these young people came to identify with a gender other than the one that corresponds to their biological sex don't jibe with what transgenderism experts have found in the past.
Massachusetts taxpayers could see a small reduction in their state income taxes next year if revenue projections hold.
By law, the state's income tax has to go down 0.05 percent if state revenues meet certain thresholds. So the tax rate on January 1, 2019 could be 5.05 percent, down from 5.1 percent now.
