You don’t have to be a genius to know that the recent explosive trend among young people claiming to be in the wrong body isn’t as much about biological realities as psychological and/or socio-cultural factors—driving so many to undergo radical gender surgery and a lifetime commitment to high levels of hormones, the side effects of which we know precious little.
My thesis in researching this topic and writing about it over the years has been that there are medically-diagnosed conditions—very few, however—that involve a genuine mismatch between one’s genes and secondary sexual characteristics. These conditions are incredibly rare. If something isn’t genetic or somehow biological, then it must be psychological. Before any surgery or hormone therapy is undertaken, it must be explored first and foremost.
But the LGBTQ+ cartel has been brainwashing the public for years now and has young children and even their parents believing that, for the majority of trans patients, feeling like you are in the wrong body is normal and must be acknowledged as such; that surgery and hormone therapy will solve all manner of mental illness and sociological issues, including suicidal ideation; and that the cure is easy when it is actually traumatic with a lifetime of high levels of behavior-altering hormones, and permanent, often painful life-altering genital surgery.
Although an 80/20 issue, this has not only divided society, especially when it comes to sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms.
...
Finally, at least one academic has started to ask the right questions. Brown University Assistant Professor Lisa Littman conducted a study interviewing 250 trans teens and young adults and their mostly supportive parents, investigating whether social factors versus biological ones could account for the hair-raising increase in rapid-onset gender dysphoria.

Historian Alice Dreger at Northwestern’s Medical and Humanities and Bioethics Program hit the nail on the head, asking,What researcher would want to work at Brown [University] when the value of your work is determined by political pressure? Is Brown a research institution or a marketing company that accidentally rolled out New Coke?
Quack “doctors” need their asses thrown in jail for this fiasco. They make freaks and turn them loose on the American public. Now, their tranny freaks have turned into killers Frankensteins.
We used to call it mass hysteria.
I saw an undercover video of a powerpoint talk at some hospital. Going over the dollar figures for operations and hormone treatments.
“So yes, the operations can bring in big money. However, the hormone treatments are continuous, and estimated to bring in over $1.5 million for the life of the patient.”

Bruce Jenner started all this EVIL! Plus the media that made him out to be a HERO for doing it have BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS!!
LGBTQ+ percentage of the population is hovering around 7%. These people want more numbers added to the T group so that they have more collective power as a downtrodden minoriy.
L is lesbian and G is gay. Together they are no more than 3%. B is bisexual which is any numeber you want but certainly confused.T is growing because of more confusion. Q is queer which certainly is in one of the other categories. + is whatever you want it to be. This is definitely a marketing plan to increase political power and cultural influence.
Are we seeing trans kids in Amish or Mennonite communities...?
No?
Go figure.
Instead of running a full-service urology practice (with consultations, surgeries, procedures, diagnostics, etc.), he just focused on two conditions: erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia (urinary problems).
This allowed him to keep overhead low—no hospital rounds, surgical suites, or complex equipment—and cash flow high.
BTW, he has a young second wife who likes to ski in Switzerland and France.
“Real data are proving that transgenderism is a marketing phenomenon”
Like Halloween, “Turkey Day”, Santa Month, New Years, Superbowl, Chocolate Bunny day, and...?
Mercantile holidays (et al) are all marketing phenomena! It’s very peculiar watching the masses desparately clinging to their whimsical self induced lifestyles & traditions whilst increasing their financial and spiritual debt. Pitiful.
rapid-onset gender dysphoria.
This researcher has been around for years and has actually had to conduct her research surreptitiously. The parents were afraid to lose custody to leftists in the state and their jobs to leftist human rights activists.
Too many actual doctors buy into this nonsense. Some of the stories that come out of these interactions are horrifying. Its not science...its cult behavior!
IOW, mass hysteria.
But the newfangled term sounds so much more sciencey, doesn't it?
The big health care providers and Pharma are getting killed by ObamaCare mandates and the pressure from illegal alien unreimbursed care costs.
They need a profitable, preferably government subsidized , revenue stream that requires very little in the way of provider care costs and liability.
They see being the pushers of sex hormone treatments as their next new big thing in revenue.
It's the Fahrenheit 451 model applied to medicine. It's so much easier and more profitable to create a chronic, non existent disease and supply the expensive drug therapy than it is to do hard things like fight cancer. And it's great to have. a "disease" that you want to nurture and expand rather than try to eradicate off the face the earth.
That's the reason Biden always bragged about his two non Covid related health care priorities -curing cancer and promoting and expanding transgenderism.
We live in strange times.
Trans is the new anorexia. Anorexia was such a gift to the diet-pill/weight loss industry.
Social contagion is a more accurate term. We hav seen this movie before, with “recovered memory” leading to the childcare center sex abuse frenzy, and the satanic cult fever, all reinforced and sustained by a concurrence of media driven interests. They all died out, and this one will too, but leaving a trail of destruction and heartbreak in their wake, and a bunch of former ‘professionals’ finding other lines of work after the courts finally caught up to them.
No it accurately describes the issue
An individual has gender dysphoria.
Hundreds of thousands suddenly inflicted have mass hysteria.
Rapid onset gender dysphoria is a possible diagnostic category.
Mass formation psychosis is the term
