Summary
HHS published a report, hosted by OPA, based on a survey of about 1,200 U.S. adults. It claims that agreement with major medical associations' gender-affirming guidance is associated with left-wing authoritarianism and with justifying political violence. Erin in the Morning names the authors as Ohad Fedida, Danit Finkelstein, Lee Jussim, Joel Finkelstein and Colin Wright, and critics say it was not peer reviewed, used unvalidated scales, and never defines 'gender ideology'. NPR, KPBS and the AAP criticized it.
