    About this ebook

    The term "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria" was proposed by Dr. Lisa Littman in 2018. Her research revealed two important facts: on the one hand, several young women from Rhode Island had declared that they were trans after spending weeks researching on the Internet. On the other hand, the prevalence of trans among groups of friends increased 70 times in relation to the expected rates. The information gathered allowed her to speak of "peer contagion". Dr. Littman claimed that gender dysphoria was what anorexia had been in earlier years: not so much a medical condition, but a cultural response to the difficulties of puberty. Of course, Littman was completely discredited, but the debate continues as several cases have required a difficult and distressing de-transition. On the following pages, the opinions for and against what is happening with the new sexualities, the inclusion of those contents in the educational system and other aspects related to gender diversity.

      Gender Dysphoria - Catherine Dumont

      Politically Correct or Cancellation

      The Western world seems to be guided by jerky cycles. One moment something is annulled, persecuted and fought, then it is timidly accepted, and later it is fully incorporated to the system, and then new groups or ideas are attacked. There are thousands of examples in history: from hippies to cannabis, from miniskirts to rock and roll.

      In recent decades we have experienced the advance of political correctness, a current that has become so hegemonic that sometimes it stands on the limit of what it fights: inclusion, being open, accepting and respecting, often derives in new forms of intolerance. The discourse of acceptance is intolerant of all other discourse, which results in an obvious paradox. If there is a place where the narrative of political correctness has managed to position itself, it is the place of moral superiority, of what is right for humanity. Politics, culture and economics have surrendered to this narrative. Everything that deviates from its canons must be fought as wrong and unacceptable. For example: humor. You can no longer make jokes with dozens of topics because someone might feel offended. So: let’s cancel the comedian, take the microphone off him, take him off the air, exclude him from events and networks. For the culture of inclusion to succeed, an apparatus of exclusion must necessarily function. Today, this procedure can be summed up in the culture of cancellation.

      In times when greys don’t exist, societies play all or nothing: either you support a cause, or you are its enemy. And there is no room for doubt, for questioning, or even for expressing out loud some sense of disagreement. Anything other than the total and blind support of a cause stands against the cause. It is not even considered that an idea, speech or position could be enriched from its questioning. Narratives are closed and only embrace supporters.

      Talking about the gender issue in these terms could be unfriendly and will surely be the target of criticism: in the world of black and white, to analyze and even question the ways in which an ideology or narrative circulates, the ways in which the different areas incorporate it
