Debunking Trans Propaganda: "Social Contagion" (Part 1)

Debunking Trans Propaganda: "Social Contagion" (Part 1)

There is a prevalent belief in TERF and "gender critical" circles, and a narrative being pushed by right-wing grifters and people with ulterior motives, that being trans is merely a "social contagion" that is a result of propaganda and lies being taught to kids online and then rapidly spreading via social contagion via kids in schools. We take a look at some of the propaganda videos and memes created by that side of the aisle and debunk their rhetoric.

They call this phenomenon many things: Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD), "social contagion," "radicalization," and a whole host of even less kind things to push a lie that being trans is essentially "being in a cult." This is deeply harmful rhetoric that has been disproven time and time again, but to no avail. We take a look at some of their propaganda videos and memes, as well as some of their "research" "studies" (that have been WIDELY criticized and even UNpublished) and bring you the FACTS behind the lies: Where did the "social contagion" theory come from? Who is pushing it? Who are they aligned with? What are their goals? And we put to bed a number of their common lies with simple logic and evidence. So here we go again: DEBUNKING anti-trans propaganda, but this time, by engaging directly with their content and poking some obvious holes in their beliefs.

What CIS people DON'T understand about transition

Cis people -- mainly the transphobic ones , but some "allies" as well -- are often fed propaganda about trans people & how transition works, so we wanted to set the record straight! In this PART TWO of our "what cis people & transphobes don't understand about transition and trans people" episode, we explain why people misunderstand so much about the process!

In this episode, we explore a number of misconceptions about transition: the early life of trans people, going through puberty as an adult, child-like joy, the bra phase, how it feels to finally love yourself, how being trans in a world that hates us is POWER, the ways that femininity is sexualized (and how that plays a HUGE role in transmisogyny), TERF projection, why it's so easy for cis people to mistake trans joy as sexual, ped0 culture, why the world was so angry with Dylan Mulvaney, how the experiences of trans men differ from trans women, why trans men are usually IDEAL mean, and how patriarchy plays a role in ALL of this.

Emotional HRT changes that you (probably) DON'T know about! (Pt 2)

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one of the MOST crucial and LEAST understood aspects of transition. Most TERFy people don't even seem to know or understand THAT we (trans people) take hormones, let alone what they DO to our bodies and our minds. They insist that we're "men wearing a dress & makeup" while completely overlooking the RADICAL changes that our bodies undergo due to feminizing hormones. From breast growth to fat redistribution to LITERAL, MEASURABLE changes to the shape of our brains... this episode is gonna open your minds to the vast and misunderstood world of HRT.

Ability to penetrate? Not anymore! Today, we're mainly focusing on the EMOTIONAL, MENTAL, and SPIRITUAL changes that occur when we go on HRT. Our mental health improves dramatically, and we're literally capable of feeling and expressing NEW emotions that we never previously knew existed! We're gonna walk you through all of it today. So... what *DOES* HRT do to trans people?

What transphobes DON'T understand about TRANS people (Part 1)

Cis people -- mainly the transphobic ones (some "allies" as well) -- are often fed propaganda about trans people and how transition works, so we wanted to set the record straight (gay). We explain a number of misconceptions about transition and the early life of trans people, health discrimination, the weird "oppression olympics" game that people play, why it's so hard for people to wrap their heads around what it's like to be trans, and how privilege plays into all of it!
