Her story appeared to impact women specifically. Young women, who felt torn between traditional female roles and newer prospects, deeply empathised with Sybils story. In fact, the vast majority of those diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder happen to be women. 4/5
It’s a very interesting case that I recommend people look into. There are certainly parallels between it and todays phenomenon of girls and young women being referred to gender identity clinics and identifying as trans. 5/5
I was just about to recommend this. Young rebel girls are often susceptible to this sort of contagion. They start to question why they don't fit 'femininity' or why they don't find that sterotype appealing. Teenage rebellion is nothing new and takes all forms. Harder today.
Also the satanic cult panics of the late 80s and early 90s where thousands of people ( mostly women) suddenly recalled “repressed memories“ of being the victim of satanic sex cults . An industry sprung up to support these woman and therapists actively encouraged these ideas.
It was almost all BS and so many lives were ruined as innocent people were jailed and families were irrevocably shredded. The trans phenomenon (especially FTM) is just the latest social contagion panic to afflict emotionally vulnerable women
Brilliant info, it goes well on my pinned thread on women's issues
30 years ago a woman contacted our lesbian group telling us she had it, her different personalities and their names etc. I pretty much thought it was nonsense. She freaked out one of the women completely though by starting to tell her when she'd stayed over "There are six of me."
Eh, humans being humans over and over again.
When unrelated children (and an infant) in a foster family “present as trans” there’s a clear indication of social contagion. We need to establish its origins, then face its pathways through resistance, scale and speed of spread.
