      I deleted a tweet where I suggested the sudden rise (+1500%) in adolescent females presenting w/ gender dysphoria may be caused by "social contagion" dynamics hypothesized in Littman's paper on ROGD. Some purposefully misrepresented it as me comparing trans people to viruses.

      This is a complete characterization of my views. Yet because my words were twisted from their intended meaning in a vague tweet and presented as evidence of transphobia, I have decided to delete the tweet. I will be more cautious with my wording moving forward.

      FYI, here is a section from @LisaLittman1's paper on rapid onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) where "social contagion" dynamics for this phenomenon are proposed and discussed. This describes a process, not individuals. Please read the paper for yourselves. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202330 …pic.twitter.com/lTrEAB2iGh

          It is quite revealing that activists who are generally obsessed with asserting the ubiquity of socialization as an explanation for practically every human behavior decide to draw a sharp line here. I wonder why? This is not an Approved Explanationᵀᴹ!

          But Social Contagion is a useful concept.

          I agree! But not when presented out of context and combined with poisoning the well.

          Peer contagion,which I'd never heard before, also seems interesting and relevant to what seems to be happening in the UK to academics.

          The word "contagion" is often used in the economic sphere.

          IMO it’s more broad. People want to know a diagnosis immediately, to have a cure. We see this in the rise of CAM/pseudoscience participation. Now normal feelings of awkwardness in adolescence is deemed a disorder rather than a part of child development. People want a cause.

          "Social contagion" is not a dehumanising term. "Cockroach", "vermin", "cancer" and "swarm" - when directed at humans - are dehumanising terms:pic.twitter.com/FNEwfcVTqK

          If I had a penny for every time some evil-psych or meme-theory snake oil twerp claimed that they didn't say what they actually said... Pretending that ordinary words have special meanings despite being obviously intended precisely according to their definitions is irritating.
