What We've Learned About Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria

CME credits now available

How can clinicians make sense of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD)—and what does the research reveal about its causes, impacts, and treatment challenges? This essential session from our ROGD Awareness Day 2024 conference in Chicago is now CME accredited.

In this wide-ranging discussion, Drs. Lisa Littman and Michael Bailey examine the emerging evidence around ROGD, including the role of social influence, mental health, and online culture in shaping adolescent gender distress. Drawing on studies of parent reports, desisters, and detransitioners, they highlight both the strengths and limitations of current research, and the urgent ethical questions raised by rapid medicalization.

Healthcare professionals will gain a clear framework for understanding this complex phenomenon and for approaching clinical care with nuance, integrity, and an evidence-based perspective.
