Some claim ‘social contagion’ is driving teenagers who were assigned female at birth to identify as transgender and seek medical care.

‘But data suggests otherwise’ is true of essentially all transphobic witch hunts, but that’s hardly going to stop them.

Are the child trafficking pederasts I voted into power the issue? No, must be the kids who are wrong.

Christ on fucking crutches. Leave the trans kids alone.

This is like the skin-coloured band-aid thing again.

If it's a group of people saying they can help trans kids then it's "social contagion", but when it's a societal norm of hatred and oppression towards trans people pressuring them to stay closeted then hey, that's nothing to do with society, it's just the standard default.
