Being trans isn’t a trend… but the world sure panicked like it was.
We’re diving into the science behind the transgender brain, the rise of the “social contagion” theory, and the messy history of sexology that started it all. Let's break down what research actually shows about gender identity and biology (and what it doesn’t), why this question is more dangerous than it seems, and how the answers could be used to both validate and weaponize trans existence. This one gets uncomfortable. Fast.
