Evidence Grows Proving That Transgenderism Is a Social Contagion
PJ Media ^ | 11/26/2022 | Matt Margolis

There’s been a troubling trend in recent years of young people increasingly identifying as transgender. In fact, the transgender phenomenon, which was once mostly associated with men, is now dominated by women. Data suggests that peer influence is playing a role in the surge in transgender identity, and now some transgender advocates are admitting that this is a problem.

While the transgender cult insists that the rapid increase of transgender identification is because of growing social acceptance that encourages transgender people to not keep their identity secret, others point out that the rapid growth and the changing demographics prove that transgender identification is a social contagion, and that is causing young people to identify as transgender when they are not.

“A study published in the scientific journal Plos One surveyed 256 parents whose children experienced rapid onset of gender dysphoria. The vast majority (86.7%) of adolescents either started spending more time online or were in a friend group with at least one other transgender person prior to identifying as transgender, according to the study,” the Daily Caller reported. “The study was meant to explore growing reports from parents of their children suddenly adopting transgender identities after puberty after apparent peer influence. In 36.8% of the friendship groups reported in the study, parent participants said the majority of its members identified as transgender. Parents also reported a decline in their children’s mental health and in parent-child relationships following adoption of transgender identities.”

“I think the people who are on the far right who say it’s all social influence are wrong. But people on the far left who say there can be no social influence are also wrong,” Dr. Erica Anderson, a transgender psychologist who works with transgender children, told the Daily Caller.

Dr. Erica Anserson :

“Adolescents are very susceptible to peer influence, so to suggest there can be no influence on young people is preposterous and flies in the face of everything we know about teenagers.”

This is actually a good thing. It weeds out the crazy girls fast.

I had a male co-worker who “came out” as a woman. He was married with three kids at the time. His wife was not thrilled when Steven announced he was now “Stephanie,” so she divorced him. Steven was very close to his oldest daughter, and he obviously groomed her into his mentality. That daughter recently announced she is “trans,” had her breasts removed, and is on testosterone therapy. In the first 55 years of my life, I never knew or even encountered one “trans” person. In the last five years, I’ve lost track. It’s the most perverted “fad” I think I’ve ever seen.

LOL. I have a special appreciation for lunatics who are openly unashamed of their lunacy. It’s much easier to avoid them that way.

I read about a study of overcrowding that involved rats. They found that increasing the density caused an increase of sexual deviance and eventually an increase in agitation and violence, including cannibalism.

When I was a Jaycee, many moons ago, I served on the board with a beer drinking buddy. He was married with two children and was a successful businessman.

He announced one day he preferred life as a woman, left his family. I guess he took care of them.

His business continued and even thrived.

“Gender dysphoria” is caused by adults trying to confuse children with something that they’re not old enough to deal with yet. Their sexuality. It should be a form of child abuse to expose children to any sexual content, but today it’s considered OK because the perverts have taken over the system.

The left has built in tremendous incentives to become "trans".

You get immunity from many things, including criticism.

You have instant increases in social status.

Suicide army in the making.

These freaks will all kill themselves eventually and many will go out in postal style.

Gender Dysphoria period... Institutionalize them along with anyone supporting or encouraging them.

Teens have always followed the latest fad, but it was relatively harmless, compared to the latest one which has you get your organs sliced off.

dominated by women

Time to buy stock in silicone implants as these females figure out the fad and cutting things off is kinda permanent. When the tranny guilt hits and they want their boobs back, the Doctors and hospitals get to make money on both sides of their illness.

It's a way for kids to get attention without doing any meaningful work... And it gives bored upper middle class suburban bimbos something to talk about with their friends without having to read or put much thought into anything.

His business thrived? Of course it did. There are lots of government contracts set aside for women & minorities, as well as grants and low-interest loans and various other preferences. Ain’t life grand!

Fad is the right term. This in not going to be remembered fondly 20 years from now.

That said, if adults want to join communes, or sexual weirdo groups or whatever - it’s ok with me as long as they don’t push their crap on children. That includes Disney. Leave the kids out of this fad.

And particularly when every ruling class institution is encouraging it, especially the schools. Combine that with the existing problem of lack of home life, and boom!

In biblical times they used to call this what it is: demonic possession.
