UOC researcher says calling being trans a trend contradicts biology
Original: Emilia Redolar, UOC: "Saying that being trans is a trend goes against biology: the brain always fights to fit in"
Emilia Redolar, a researcher at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), argues that claims that being trans is a social trend run counter to biology. She says the brain always works to fit the body and identity together, and that framing trans identity as a fashion ignores neuroscience. Her comments come amid ongoing public debate over trans identity and youth.
Why now: Her remarks feed into the current heated debate over whether trans identity among young people is a social trend.
