Time Text
Out of nowhere, the leading demographic is teenage girls.
Teenage girls are the leading demographic claiming to be transgender, pushing for hormones and surgeries and getting them.
And we have very real reason to believe that this is yet another peer contagion to befall teenage girls because these girls are coming out in friend groups.

It's highly concentrated within a friend group.
All of a sudden, 50% of a given friend group will decide they're trans.
Oh, so it's rarely a loner?
No, not now.
I mean, that's part of the reason we know that it's pure influence.
That's fascinating.
I don't remember that in my last interview with you.

Yes.
Just like they do with anorexia, bulimia, other peer contagions.

I'm going to take your response as soon as we come back.
There must be some reason why it's affecting teenage girls.
