The text includes the title of the essay: "Lies, Damned Lies, and Transgender Statistics (plus over a dozen studies contradicting the “social contagion/rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis)," plus the opening line of the essay ("A couple weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published an op-ed entitled Evidence Backs the Transgender Social-Contagion Hypothesis..."), and my website: juliaserano.substack.com

Back in February 2019 on this blog, I published Origins of "Social Contagion" and "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria" – an investigation into where these (at the time) novel concepts suddenly appeared from. What I found was they originated on anti-trans parent websites then quickly spread throughout conservative and mainstream media, almost as if they were a “social contagion” unto themselves ( Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Julia Serano (?)

“It is offensive that so many people feel that it is okay to publicly refer to transsexuals as being “pre-op” or “post-op” when it would so clearly be degrading and demeaning to regularly describe all boys and men as being either “circumcised” or “uncircumcised.”

“When the majority of jokes made at the expense of trans people center on "men wearing dresses" or "men who want their penises cut off" that is not transphobia - it is trans-misogyny. When the majority of violence and sexual assaults omitted against trans people is directed at trans women, that is not transphobia - it is trans-misogyny.”

“The hardest part has been learning how to take myself seriously when the entire world is constantly telling me that femininity is always inferior to masculinity”
