'Seduction of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria': The Anti-Trans Hate Machine

This short film is Episode 3 of The Anti-Trans Hate Machine Animated Series, a companion to Season 2 of TransLash Media's limited podcast series The Anti-Trans Hate Machine: A Plot Against Equality. Access the transcript for this short and series information here:

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Disinformation must spread in ways that are imperceptible and seemingly organic. Join us for a deep dive into the massive influence of the fringe blog 4th Wave Now, where parents who are hostile to their trans kids gather to spread conspiracy theories about the origins of gender identity. It’s influenced liberal parents like Jeanne Ogden, who used ideas in the blog to help justify blocking her daughter Cam from receiving the care she needs. Learn how Jeanne and Cam are working to pick up the pieces, after being manipulated by this disinformation. And how, despite the harm, journalists like Jesse Singal grabbed the idea of trans social contagion and ran with it.

ABOUT THIS SERIES: The Anti-Trans Hate Machine Animated Series explains in easy to access videos how anti-trans pseudoscience and disinformation has become widely accepted as fact. From conversion therapy, to rapid onset gender dysphoria, to “watchful waiting,” a vast network of Christian Nationalist organizations and bad-actors have used both rightwing and mainstream media to change the way an entire nation thinks about the validity of trans people.
