Arthur asserts that being trans is about genes and the environment just like 'literally every other thing that humans can be'. He does this because he likes the sciencey truthiness of the words.

But of course, humans can be lots of things for which the immediate genetic component is close to zero. For example: catholic, hungry, covered in jam. If a parent brings their children up to believe in a literal religious truth, the fact of the children's shared DNA

doesn't really matter - it doesn't allow us to conclude that they have some inner, genetically bestowed, religious essence. It is their shared environment that did it: the beliefs and actions of the parent.

If most or even the majority of trans children had trans-affirming parents the whole "ROGD" moral panic simply could not exist

It's interesting how obviously pseudoscientific this moral panic narrative is, even though they've put the medical-sounding term "social contagion" on it That the thought "I might be trans" is a uniquely "powerful" idea, capable of overpowering opposing ideas almost effortlessly

Parent tells a kid they're trans? They become trans, because they're helpless to resist the brainwashing Parent stridently tells the kid they're NOT trans? Doesn't matter -- if the kid sees "You might be trans!" on the Internet, the parent's influence is now nullified

Doesn't matter where it comes from -- your parents, your friends at school, a Tumblr post, a TV show about Jazz Jennings, attending a single Drag Queen Story Hour The trans mind-virus overpowers everything in its wake, it's invincible

It's just funny how consistently Concerned Parents try to use some overwrought metaphor of infection or addiction or brainwashing to avoid admitting "People agree with it because it's true", or "People like it because it's good"
