All of the words, money, and rubber burnt over the course of months of campaigning came together this week into a noxious nebula of anticipation and desperation that when inhaled could make it difficult to breathe.
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.
