The role of social media in the phenomenon of ROGD should not be underestimated, and it is not too much to say that social media and smartphones have driven a great deal of suffering into young lives. And not just in this field of gender medicine - the positive feedback of the "spoonie" community is creating no end of young people who believe they have Ehlers-Danlos and other unlikely diagnoses for example.
One has to believe this craze is all about the $$$$ in the medical and pharma industries, because morality, common sense, intelligence, caring about children seems to have nothing to do with it. If the medical profession is so easily brainwashed by extreme advocates of the hideous treatment and torture they perform on innocent and confused and maladjusted children, then all I can say is stay as far away from them as you possibly can. Matt Walsh's "What is a Woman" showcased some of these lunatics - their unctuous superiority and holier-than-thou attitudes indicate they have zero moral foundation.
and also, and also, and also. everywhere you look there's false claims pushing this fraud. claims that non supporting parents are the reason dysphoric kids are homeless is sited as a reason why parents must be kept in the dark by school employees and why kids must be allowed to marshall medical services against parent consent. is this claim true? are parents kicking kids out to the street for being "trans"? evidence to support this claim ive found so far is an article from 2016 that claims a study found this. but the study sited found the opposite. it was a 2017 survey of attitudes of 36 parents, all of whom were supportive. another study used to support this claim is a ~2010 survey of 14 gay kids from latino families in NY city. even with the small sample size, and the fact that gay sexuality and trans id are totally differnt the claim doesnt hold up. getting into the data showed a few parents werent supportive but this had no documented effect. this is fraud. also pew research says latino attitudes re gays has dramatically changed in past 15 years. seems like just more lies upon lies.
theres also the claims that trans ID bio males are at risk in mens restrooms. theres no evidence for this. the evidence actually finds trans id bio males are more at risk in womens restrooms than in mens.
the ivory tower is so easily tricked into believing trans id ppl are being attacked from all sides. turns out none of it is true.
Still offering ONE MILLION DOLLARS for a technology capable of detecting and measuring the "gender identity" of random subjects in a controlled double-blind test.
we are deep in this in new zealand. it's being taught from pre school on and we are transitioning more kids than the tavistock did. all state funded. the future looks very bleak indeed.
Another detail regarding the entire diagnosis: When Dr. Ray Blanchard determined his arbitrary "Blanchard Protocol" of 2 years presenting as the opposite sex to receive the Holy Grail of letters for surgery, he assumed many would drop out and did not keep track of them or study their next phase of life, whether therapy treating childhood trauma or any alternative was explored. Blanchard was actively and corruptly pursuing the DSM citation, such that insurance companies would have to pay him and other "sexologist specialists" to conduct the grand experiment. He never, for example conducted a deep analysis of the dopamine hits of the act of cross-dressing, the intrigue of costume/disguise and the pretend play acting out "I'm a member of the French Resistance" during this behavior. Every teacher in Special Education knows how to do a behavioral analysis of the positives and negatives of a certain pattern of behavior. I know this well, as my husband did this, but got "expedited" in 1995, after only one year. Here's a discussion between me and Exulansic, a desister of cross-sex ideation, on Ute Heggen YT channel:
As a retired pediatric specialist, I want to give affirmation to the honesty and academic clarity of these postings. They put to shame articles like Rosenthal's in Nature. I am VERY concerned about how biased our leading journals like The New England Journal of Medicine have become. Now Nature and Science on issues of climate and transgenderism. As well, these journals do NOT invite dissenting opinions. Challenges to hypotheses and dogmas have been so important to the history of science and now are so readily discarded.
However, I am not so reassured by the even-handedness and perspectives of fellow commentators!
it is. but i keep remembering anne frank's quote that she still believed "people are good at heart." and to remind myself of all the beauty in people and nature. but still... i am glad to be born now because i shudder to think how things might be 50 years from now.
"The psychotherapy profession has oversold change and undersold acceptance." This is at the root of the trans contagion.
Use “synthetic sexual identities “ or “ideation” instead of the terms pushed by the industry.

Confident I will never pay out the prize
Thank you, succinct and informative.
