Claims, checked
You've heard it said. Here's the evidence.
The claim“Social media is making young people trans.”The evidence
It isn't. Gender identity isn't shaped by what you watch, who you follow or which app you use.
Helen explains →The claim“A scan or a blood test could prove it.”The evidenceNo medical test can show that someone is trans. Brain scans, chromosomes and hormone levels tell you nothing about it.
