They contrast her past supportive stance with her current anti-trans rhetoric, suggesting that media figures often shift their public positions based on who is paying their contracts.

A study published in the BMJ reveals that 60% of U.S. physicians involved in developing the DSM-5 received payments from the pharmaceutical industry.
