https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/the-same-dark-money-behind-project>An Erin in the Morning investigation has revealed that far-right dark money has been financing fringe “research” organizations that purport to undermine the evidence backing gender-affirming care. Among those beneficiaries is the Gender Dysphoria Institute (GDI), which is recruiting trans youth and their parents for AYAGDOS—the Adolescent and Young Adult Gender Dysphoria Outcomes Study.>The controversial initiative, conducted “in collaboration with Northwestern University” as per the GDI, is saturated with ties to anti-trans rights activists, Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate groups, and decades of alleged medical, sexual, and academic impropriety.>The stated purpose of AYAGDOS is to find out more about “gender dysphoria and related phenomena (such as transgender)” [sic]. The study is led by three controversial researchers: Dr. Lisa Littman, Dr. Kenneth Zucker, and Dr. J. Michael Bailey.>Bailey, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, is especially known for his widely-rebuked book of “original research” depicting trans women as sex-crazed “men” who are uniquely “well-suited to prostitution.”>This strikes quite a different tone from the public-facing rhetoric of the GDI, where Bailey is a founding board member. The Institute describes itself as “a nonpartisan, nonprofit, independent organization” that simply seeks to promote “evidence-based information about gender dysphoria.”>“Decisions about the research process and communication of findings are made by the researchers conducting the study,” a general disclaimer on GDI’s website adds. “These decisions are wholly independent from funders, lobbyist groups or other outside organizations.”>However, when asked about said funders, the AYAGDOS team remained tight-lipped. “The vast majority of donations to GDI come from individuals,” said Littman, who is also the GDI president, in an email to Erin in the Morning.

>>43050458>Fact checked by ai"TL;DR:The article’s biggest weakness is that it claims specific funding sources and percentages but doesn’t show the primary evidence (IRS filings). Because the documents aren’t presented, readers can’t verify the financial claims, so the conclusion about a coordinated “dark money network” is interpretation rather than proven evidence."
