This an interesting article; in exploring its topic it touches on quite a few of the areas explored in vidchats etc. such as creating a field of attraction, social engineering via language and naming… Strange topic but I think illuminating.

Cara Mia! Mai insoma! E’ molto strano.
Yes, very strange. It was published in 2000…. 17 years ago. What is interesting to me are the parallels the author draws between transgender and this obsession to amputate. Also interesting how he talks about how the “diagnosis” is created by the attention focused on it and how the internet magnifies this effect. Lots of observations are relevant to other topics I think.
That was interesting, but really it’s just the same old story of the ikonothetes vs. the ikonoclasts. Both become semantic contagions when there is no adaptive process to ameliorate the “distress” involved in the old game of competence vs. deviance. If you’re seen as more deviant then society as a whole views you as less competent. That people seek means to solve problems shouldn’t be an excuse for crypto-moralizing, as this article seems to be. The “disorder” of paraphlilias may have divine origins, and that’s what should concern us.
Ok did not read article , because of your ample description. ‘Social engineering, transgender, The Atlantic.’ Psyop IMHO. Gracie tan to 🤗
