@sciam_bot just pubished a study against #ROGD or #socialcontagion of transness. It is the *ninth* recent study condemning the right wing, anti-trans originating theory to death. First the link and in a reply I share what @juliaserano has to say about this. On the dead bird site alas.

@niedlichenacktschnecke
Ich komme bei dem Menschen selber mit Argumenten nicht weiter weil ich denke "niemand ist so blöd unüberlegt zu transotionieren, deshalb funktioniert soziale Ansteckung nicht" aber das ist eher eine Haltung als ein Gegenargument.
