'Let's put this to bed - trans 'social contagion' theory is dangerous nonsense'
Briefly

The argument against 'trans social contagion theory' intensifies as it resurfaces in a UN report despite extensive evidence disproving its validity. This theory suggests that societal pressures can influence gender dysphoria, particularly in minors, creating a risk of young individuals adopting gender stereotypes as part of their identity. Sources cited in support of this theory include individuals with contentious backgrounds. Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD), coined in 2016, claims symptoms of dysphoria can spread socially, which many assert is a flawed perspective that should be dismissed alongside other outdated theories.
Despite a tower of evidence refuting the theory so massive it would give the Burj Khalifa a run for its money, the ridiculous idea that gender dysphoria is somehow transmissible through societal pressure has been included in a draft report from the UN's human rights office.
An advanced edited version of the report from Reem Alsalem, the UN's special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, suggests that under-18s, particularly young girls, are vulnerable to 'socially contagious stereotyped roles.'
Her sources for this insane declaration include Dr James Cantor, who subscribes to Dr Ray Blanchard's discredited typology on 'autogynephilic' transexualism, and Michael Biggs, who made an anonymous Twitter account to make offensive remarks.
The theory Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) is a discredited theory purporting that a subsection of those with gender dysphoria begin to express symptoms through 'social contagion.'
