I'm coming to this article belatedly, but want to express profound and sincere gratitude to Dr. Kaltiala for her persistence and courage in speaking the truth. We need more of you, especially in the United States.

Sexual orientation and gender dysphoria should never have been coupled in public discourse; as a lesbian, I've always disliked the incongruous idea of some "LGBTQ+" conglomerate. Having spent the last year-plus educating myself on the harm done by ideologically driven, unsupported "gender affirming care" (with gay youth especially susceptible), and the harm done all females by trans-identified males who trespass into their sports and spaces, I now find the alphabet soup nonsense repugnant. It's simply a politically expedient hijacking of the historical gay rights movement by trans activists that too many liberals have uncritically embraced.
