This is utter nonsense. The "social contagion" hypothesis is one researcher (Littman) pushing an agenda, using unrepresentative samples of people recruited from transphobic websites. As a trans person, I'm not confused about anything. I experienced severe gender incongruence since the moment puberty began. And no one's dictating anything to trans people either -- gender identity is remarkably resistant to external pressure, as seen in all the sexologist reports on trans kids from the 70s through the 90s. That's just not how gender works in our species.
