r/honesttransgender had the most sane post of the last 24 hours and it was deleted by the moderators: "Maybe it's too late, and this is what the trans movement has become, and this is how it ends."

I don’t think they’ve suddenly gone nuts, I think this has bloomed over the past decade with the rise of social media and the increasing importance that the lazy media has placed on what some twat said on twitter or instagram.

I can’t imagine any of this happening if the media hadn’t become so lazy and reliant on twitter hot-takes. And twitter et al wouldn’t have the status that they have now without the media treating it as a man on the street instead of the lunatic in the corner that it really is.

Transgenderism would have never caught hold in previous decades, and by suddenly I'm referring to the point at which is took hold and gained traction. Why now? I think things really got crazy starting in 2016.

Social media, gay rights organisations getting gay marriage and having no reason to exist any more pivoting to troonery, munchausen-by-proxy mothers getting social clout from transing their kids.

With FTM troons you also have the much higher chance of social contagion, which is a thing that is far more powerful amongst teen girls than it is among teen boys and why the spikes in the numbers of teen girls seeking gender “medicine” far outweighs the numbers of teen boys - men seem to Troon out later having developed their AGP fetish. The spike in girls is what called attention to the UK’s Tavistock Clinic and brought about its soon to happen closure, it was a seriously suspicious statistic.

I suspect that had there been no social media (twitter, FB, insta and discord) then there would be very few FTM troons.
