In general, I largely agree with you, but I don't understand what you mean when you say this: > I don’t think it’s a ‘contagion’. I think it’s the religious fervor of one more budding cult..The Church Of Victimhood. Could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by this?

All religious movements thrive because of the virulence of thought virii. This is true for Christianity or Veganism or normalization of puberty blockers. Thought virii should be able to replicate really fast to populate host environment to take over and also defeat resistance from competition. Public schools in America are very conducive environments for such transmission. The mythos of western religion is that of a man who is the son of god..first denied and then died because the sinners nailed him to the cross. His divinity is enshrined through resurrection after living a mortal life. This is very powerful and even if westerners abandon religion, it works on a sub conscious level. A victim is not ‘weak’..they are divine and worshipful. In Hindu mythos(I am from India and am Hindu), for example, this would never stick. So it’s definitely a cultural thing altho the notion of a god sacrificing himself for humanity is a common theme throughout the ancient world. In Hinduism, it is our Sun God, the child of Divine Mother Aditi..she left him like a square lump of flesh in the realm between earth and heavens to serve humans. And so Surya burns himself and sacrifices himself so mortals can exist. He is unapproachable who is like a strict father, but he exists for all humanity so we can work through our karmas. He is not a victim of mortal follies. Etc. One has to die to be reborn. You will find parallels in Norse mythology etc. It goes all the way back. But as the youngest and most prevalent religion, Christanity's lapsed congregation take the archetype but abandon the faith. religion is a faith based belief system. if we remove it, something else has to replace vaccum it leaves behind in the collective psyche. communism, science, war, art are all the usual suspects. everywhere, one has to suffer to establish their commitment. currently, it is social justice causes. in america..because we have leapfrogged due to tech and prosperity..and there are no more wars or famines and there is relative prosperity as baseline compared to other countries, we are running out of protected categories of people willing to be nailed at the cross and as a cause to follow for change. The Abrahamic religious archetype requires a victimized god who will resurrect to show truth to the world. It is also the ‘contagion’ in a sense because this needs to replicate fast and dominate the host body of culture/civilization. One has to die to be reborn. But someone has to kill the one first and for that we need a victim and a victimizer. The roles are defined. But who wants to play?

    “normalization of puberty blockers.”

      I don't see how it's a religion more than normalization of Tylenol.

        How ‘well tested’ and prevalent are puberty blockers compared to Tylenol? Comparing chemical castration for body dysphoria with a fever reducer for body inflammation is asinine. The former is a religion that is trying to normalize an anomaly while the latter is a medical human universal.

        Puberty blockers are fully reversable and serve only to give teenagers who experience gender dysphoria time to make sure they're making the right decision - whether that decision is to go on cross-sex hormones or not. Calling it a "religion" is nonsense. It's a safe and effective medical intervention like any other widely deployed drug, and safer than many.
