Probably not Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria. That's social.
Additionally transexuals have appeared in every extant civilization. Some women have felt more like themselves passing as men and some men have felt more themselves passing as women. From Indian to Chinese to Native Americans there's always been people like that. I'm pretty sure any impression of there being more of them is due to news cycles, fast communications, and increasing overall empathy.
- ReactiveJelly 6y agoAs mentioned in the sibling comment "it's a highly controversial topic as it indicates that something is inherently wrong with being transgender." Whether ROGD exists or not, there isn't going to be useful discourse about it on public social media, where 99.9% of the time anyone talking about "endocrine disruptors" or "ROGD" or "social contagion" is only using it to invalidate the entire notion of being trans. Sometimes because their child is questioning their gender and they want to shut that down without just having a parent-child conversation about it. Did environmental microplastics and soy milk and Wifi radiation and being friends with trans people make me into a woman? We can raise that hypothesis in good faith, but I'm not going to quit transitioning even if it turns out to be true.
- pseudalopex 6y agoThe evidence for ROGD is 1 study. It assumed teenagers tell their parents everything. And selected for parents who refused to accept their children coming out as trans.
