The Girls Who Caught Tourette's From TikTok; or: Transgenderism is Mass Hysteria

   Girls and young women are, by far, most susceptible to mass psychogenic/sociogenic illness--i.e. mass hysteria. This is the likely cause of witchcraft panic of 17th-century Massachusetts and the late-20th-century wave of anorexia across the U.S. 
   It's very clear that transgenderism is mostly mass psycho/sociogenic illness--especially among girls and young women. Though in this case, it is supported by the elites and elite institutions controlled by the progressive left. Boys seem to have different motives for proclaiming themselves "trans" (and "nonbinary," etc.) But the pattern of contagion/propagation of young women make it clear that it's mass hysteria / social contagion
   The case of "catching" Tourette's is just another instance of this general phenomenon:
A consensus has emerged among neurologists that social media has played a pivotal role in the outbreak, with some researchers referring to the surge in cases as the "TikTok Tics." Many of their patients reported that prior to the sudden onset of tics, they had been watching and sharing videos of social influencers claiming to be suffering from Tourette's. During the pandemic, videos of people with Tourette's, or claiming to be experiencing the condition, have gained an enormous following on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. London-based psychiatrist Dr. Isobel Heyman has been at the coalface of the surge and reports that many of her patients appear to “gain peer support, recognition and a sense of belonging” from being exposed to social influencers claiming to have Tourette's. She is convinced that the tics are being reinforced and maintained by the online attention that those exhibiting the tics are receiving (Heyman et al., 2021).
