“For working-class trans people of colour, however, community identity development is most often necessarily inextricable from the reproduction of everyday life. Largely without the access to funding and medicalised legitimacy held by white-led NGOs, trans people of colour (particularly Black and Brown trans women) have developed extensive grassroots mutual aid networks and chosen familial structures”

While the self-efficacy of interaction with other trans people is often essential to the social reproduction of trans identities, this is leveraged by gender criticals as proof of “social contagion.” That people who had otherwise internalized cisgender identity roles would remain cisgender if they hadn’t been “turned” by other trans people.]

This has led to claims of “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.”

However, if you consider the overwhelming amount of vectors for reproducing cisgenderism in children, and the acceptance of children who take on cisgender identity roles as authentic regardless of their age, this claim rings obviously false. The reproduction of cisgenderism is done through violence. The violence of the state, criminalizing trans women of colour, the violence of parents, punishing their children for deviation from cisgender identity norms, the violence of the medical establishment, reducing gender identity to a function of genitalia.
