Lisa Selin Davis: "Trans" ID Decline Points to Social Contagion

There's never really been any question about this.

   It will all go away more slowly than it should--I predict--because so many people have such a deep, personal, moral, and quasi-religious commitment to it. Many (perhaps most) people who fell for it and allowed themselves to be mutilated will have a hard time admitting it (though some, of course, will stampede to find an excuse). Parents--mostly mothers--who inflicted this on their children may be the real bastion of transanity. Many of them will likely never be able to admit their role in the mutilation and neutering of their own children. Even parents who merely went along with it will likely be plagued with guilt. Teachers were a significant vector of transmission. More guilt there...

   In fact, I expect this will never completely go away. "Trans"ness has long been a thing. It's a psychological glitch for many men--autogynephilia (note: a word Blogger still pretends not to understand...). And it fades off into a perfectly reasonable disinterest in conforming to social norms about attire and whatnot. But, anyway: the demon is out of the pentagram. It'll probably be with us, to some degree, for a long, long...long...time.
