I’m glad you asked.

First of all, let’s outline the hallmarks of a social contagion event:

- A rapid exponential explosion in numbers.
- The sudden appearance of an entirely new patient group
- Adolescent girls mostly affected.
- Clusters of friends presenting with the same symptom/behaviour

All of these are present in the epidemic of young people identifying as trans in the 2010s.

Now, the way society normally responds to such events is with an immediate search for the trigger event and the vectors for the contagion.

For example, with the bulimia contagion of the 80s, the trigger was found to be media coverage of the disorder.

With the outbreak of anorexia in Hong Kong in the 90s, it was the sensational media coverage of a school girl who had collapsed and died on a busy street.

With TikTok tics in the 2010s, a young Tourettes sufferer’s YouTube channel was swiftly identified.

There are endless examples.

In those instances, clinicians didn’t wait around for decades for someone to conduct a reliable study showing that the event was a social contagion. They recognised all the hallmarks and acted. In the case of bulimia though, not nearly fast enough.

In the case of the trans contagion, all researchers had to do was take a glance at the cultural messaging of the era. The inflection point coincides precisely with the dawn of the trans rights movement, with media celebration of trans-identified public figures, and trans influencers proliferating rapidly on social media.

And those early YouTube influencers actually documented the social contagion on camera for all to see with the How I Knew I Was Trans genre of video — with each young person describing encountering a trans-identified person online and immediately recognising themselves in it and adopting the identity. That’s the social contagion in action.

We don’t need studies to show it’s a social contagion. We just need to open our eyes and look at the evidence that is, and always has been, all around us.

I’m tired of the Senate’s evergreen excuse for inaction:

“We don’t have 60 votes.”

There are ways around the 60-vote cloture standard.

It’s time to start using them.

And stop disingenuously characterizing any refusal to do so as virtuous or conservative.

Share if you agree.

@niteguyj62 @berniemoreno I actually don’t watch Fox News. But thanks for the assumption…

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@MizValerie @berniemoreno Not true - verifiably not true, actually. Besides the fact that the trial and convictions were a sham, your statement would suggest that fewer than 34 illegal aliens voted in any of our recent elections. That’s patently and verifiably ridiculous

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@theShoeOSU @berniemoreno In one post you suggest I have no brain. Then you post a quote from Mark Kelly. I think our relative neural anatomy is rather clear…

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@Aurelki @berniemoreno No thanks, I’m good.

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@niteguyj62 @berniemoreno Wow. You really do live under an MSM rock, don’t you?

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@DenverDooouglas @berniemoreno Yes, because profanity makes every point better…

And how do you expect the poll worker to verify your identity? Especially if all they have is a piece of paper they got in the mail?

If we don’t pass the SAVE America Act, we’re toast

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Pass SAVE America

Or nothing else matters

@comptixking @berniemoreno I don’t watch Fox News. But I can link you to the @scrowder episode where he did the research himself - might take me a minute to find it, since it’s from 2021.

Fixing voting fraud starts by closing the border. It continues by passing the SAVE Act. It gets better by prosecuting politicians who encourage mass fraud. And it finishes by deporting every illegal alien and every noncitizen who commits a crime. Let’s get it done!

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@comptixking @berniemoreno You keep thinking that. It might not have completely swung 2020, but it came close. And it was present in 2024, too. Illegals are voting. People are voting by mail. Ballot harvesting. Dead people voting. People voting from multiple addresses. It needs to all end, now.

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@comptixking @berniemoreno It’ll keep voter fraud from happening. Again. One legal citizen, one vote.

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@BasedMikeLee Make Thune act!

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@MarshaBlackburn @SenKatieBritt @POTUS Now pass the SAVE Act! By any means necessary! Reconciliation, talking filibuster, even nuking the filibuster, because you know the Democrats will anyway when they take power after you fail to stop them from cheating!

[Spencer Drake @spencercdrake]

@SenRickScott Now pass the SAVE Act! By any means necessary! Reconciliation, talking filibuster, even nuking the filibuster, because you know the Democrats will anyway when they take power after you fail to stop them from cheating!
