New on Assigned, I found out earlier today that Jonathan Haidt, the author of the splashy new pop-psych book about how smartphones are bad for kids, believes and is promoting a fringe theory that kids are becoming #trans due to social media as well.
Haidt told PBS that "clusters of girls" are developing gender dysphoria when they never had it before.
The problem, of course, is that there's no research whatsoever backing that up. #science #news
