Source Summary

The Slowly Boiled Frog is biting commentary from David Cary Hart reflecting upon issues affecting the LGBT community. I should have known that this was inevitable. The headline at Christian Post- reads, “Doctor Slams Trans Study That Claims Using Preferred Names Reduces Depression, Suicide.” I wrote about this last Saturday. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin concluded: … In one of the largest and most diverse studies of transgender youths to date, researchers led by a team at The University of Texas at Austin have found that when transgender youths are allowed to use their chosen name in places such as work, school and at home, their risk of depression and suicide drops. The folks at the Christian Post are having none of it. Based strictly on the applicable science, of course: New research published in the Journal of Adolescent Health by scholars at the University of Texas
