Could not agree more! As a parent of an adult trans daughter, I take offense that my loved ones are being excluded from legitimate scientific inquiry based on transient political ideology. May the good and the just prevail.
Sexual orientatn & gender identity are not controversial... nor is the fact that transgender people are members of our societies. Research w/ sexual & gender minoritized communities is critical for life lived in truth, liberty, & personal happiness. Let it continue.
