#BellLetsTalk about how the majority of these girls have multiple psychiatric comorbidities such as eating disorders, ADHD, or a history of self harm.
#BellLetsTalk about how teachers all over 🇨🇦 are practicing psychotherapy without a license and socially transitioning every child who announces a transgender identity, often without parental consent or knowledge, possibly setting them on a path to medical sex change.
#BellLetsTalk about how Canadian children are being sold the lie that it's possible to change sex; how they're told that shots of testosterone and bilateral mastectomies magically transform girls into boys and solve all the woes of female puberty.

🧵The ecological niche of transient mental illnesses

A transient mental illness is a mental illness that arises at a particular time, in a particular place, and then fades away. According to Ian Hacking, it requires an ecological niche of cultural factors in which to thrive./1
In Hacking's book Mad Travelers, he looks at the fugue epidemic of the late 1880s, which was triggered by Albert Dadas, of Bordeaux, and his doctor, Phillippe Tissier. Albert would go on extraordinary expeditions in a trance-like state as far afield as Algeria and Moscow./2
In 1887, Tissier, then a medical student, wrote his thesis about Dadas and fugue became a diagnosable type of madness. This set off a small epidemic of mad travelers with Bordeaux at its epicentre. It soon spread through France, Italy, Germany and as far as Russia./3

The similarities between the social contagions of anorexia and bulimia and today's social contagion of gender dysphoria are striking. From the sudden explosion in numbers, to the fact that they both strike predominantly teenage girls. Look how similar these graphs are.
Social contagions always have a trigger. For the eating disorder graph on the left, the trigger was bulimia's inclusion in the DSM in 1980, the Princess Diana's public struggle in the early 90s. For gender dysphoria, it was the dawn of the trans rights movement in the mid 2010s.
People are susceptible to messaging. When a condition enters the lexicon,it becomes an idiom of distress. A legitimate way for people,usually teen girls and young women,to signal their anguish & be taken seriously by the drs. The pain is real; the way it's expressed ever-changing

There's so much wrong with this article that I don't even know where to begin, but as social contagion is my thing, I'll focus on that. This piece completely distorts what the candidates are actually saying, and denies or ignores the social contagion element of gender dysphoria/1
Let's take a trip through the history of psychiatric contagions. In the late 1800s, Jean-Martin Charcot triggered a contagion of la grande hystérie in French society women, who read about it in literature/journals and then began suffering from the disorder.
Or how about the contagion of multiple personality disorder in the 80s which was triggered by the mass-market book Sybil, fuelled by talk shows, and induced into patients by therapists who had lost their minds and fell for a complete lie. Tens of thousands of lives were ruined./3

It's hard to remain positive in Canada with Trudeau at the helm. Yesterday, the "Federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan" was announced, with $100 million in funding for groups that believe men can be women, castrating kids is something to celebrate, and same-sex attraction is transphobic.
Pictured next to the Minister for Women and Gender Equality is none other than Fae Johnstone, who wants "a political environment in which TERFs (read: women) are so vilified they don't dare speak their views publicly, let alone act on them". This is who our government listens to.
From the action plan. I hope this doesn't mean what I think it means.

That's right. Remember teachers: you can't give your students so much as a Tylenol without parental consent, but it is your duty to practice psychotherapy without a license and set a child on the path to medical transition without even telling the parents you've done so!
I'm told the account is now locked down. This is the appalling betrayal of parental trust that this Ottawa teacher is encouraging. ImageImage
To be fair to this teacher, she is simply following #OCDSB guidelines. The @OCDSB, like school boards across the country, force teachers to betray the trust of parents and socially transition kids without parental knowledge or consent. Image

🧵#ROGD
Imagine if, all of a sudden, there was an explosion of middle-aged men suffering from anorexia. Emaciated men were everywhere,but no one was allowed to investigate the cause. We all had to pretend it was perfectly normal. Wouldn't that be weird?/1
#ROGDAwarenessDay
Well that's exactly what happened with gender dysphoria, but in reverse. A condition that historically affected predominantly middle-aged men suddenly, around the mid-2010s, started to strike teenage girls, and people are forbidden from asking why./2
#ROGDAwarenessDay
In 2018 Lisa Littman conducted the first study of this group,using methodologies that are considered perfectly acceptable when used in studies that support gender-affirming care for children. Nevertheless the backlash from trans activists was swift and vicious/3
