If you are familiar with the claim that most transgender youth will "desist', please read, and consider sharing.

@catherinesjwall.com, @ghawinriver.bsky.social and I are very proud of this work.

New publication alert! After four years of analysis, synthesis, and careful writing, I am pleased to announce a brand-new article, “Desistance”: A Multimethod Review of the Literature on Gender Identity Variability in Transgender and Gender Diverse Youth (1) 🧵

An Audit of Social Science Survey Experiments Abstract. Survey experiments have become a popular methodology for causal inference across the social sciences. We study the efficacy of survey experiment

Needed - larger samples, more realism about (the lack of) heterogeneous treatment effects:
-"less than a third of proposed hypotheses were supported... the largest predictor of positive exp. results was sample size"
-"moderation hypotheses were rarely significant"

"The evidence reviewed here suggests that key assertions in the The Body Keeps the Score – particularly those concerning trauma-induced brain damage and the unique efficacy of body-based treatments – are not supported by the current weight of research."

What a NIMBY

Let's control for setting & experience. Does NOT count if one says, "The students in the first place I taught were known for causing more problems than students in other places," or, "There were more problems caused by students because I wasn't as good at managing a classroom earlier in my career."

I hear many fellow educators say students today cause more problems in class than past students.

I'm curious, though: has anyone known an educator who said that students they taught earlier in their career engaged in more problematic behaviors than students they taught later in their career?

...the latter.

Thanks, Lorenzo! Right back at ya!

Trying and failing to recall the content of my first tweet. I suspect it concerned the Iranian Presidential election in 2009.
