yesterday was the 8 year anniversary of when "transgender social contagion" was first proposed. to mark the occasion, I've written two essays! here's the 1st one, compiling all the evidence against the theory in one place. it summarizes points I've made in past "social contagion" pieces, plus adding new ones.

no-paywall link, pls share & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50) so others see it!

...Part 2 (drops tomorrow) will be "Explaining Assigned Sex Ratio Shifts in Trans Children" and it will critique that framing (& Jonathan Chait's recent piece) – so stay tuned!

FYI: most media outlets wouldn't have allowed me to publish this piece as is. so if you appreciate that I make essays like this freely available online, pls consider supporting me on Patreon for as little as $1/month! https://www.patreon.com/juliaserano

Really well written summary, thanks so much
@juliaserano based on that chart is it about false equivalency of recognition vs actual trending behavior?

@juliaserano wait, I recruited ten other people to be left-handed like me, are they going to take away my toaster oven recruitment prize?

(I read this and it's awesome thank you for sharing)
