Especially toys that come apart easily and/or can’t easily be cleaned.

...since today's TDoR, I'm not gonna do my usual thread of excerpts just yet. but this passage from the intro provides a taste. pls share to raise awareness of all the studies debunking "social contagion/ROGD" as well as how inane Colin Wright's WSJ op-ed was:
juliaserano.medium.com/lies-damned-...
screenshot from linked to essay that reads: For those interested, I have chronicled debates about the Kaufmann report in the October 10, 2025 entry of my recently updated Origins of “Social Contagion” & “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” timeline, but I will not be discussing them further here. From my perspective, the most pertinent issue is not whether the number of young people who identify as trans or LGBTQ+ happens to be rising (as the Williams Institute and Gallup, respectively, recently reported) or falling (as Kaufmann claims), but rather that anti-trans activists will inevitably shoehorn any statistics (both increases or decreases!) into their “social contagion” narrative. The rest of this essay will be organized into three sections. First, I will discuss the history of the “transgender social contagion” narrative: who invented it, what purpose it serves, and why it’s nothing more than wild speculation. Second, with that necessary context in tow, I will highlight the numerous flaws in Colin Wright’s WSJ op-ed and revisit the popular “left-handedness” analogy, which he misrepresents in his piece. Third, I will end with a list of over a dozen studies that contradict the “social contagion”/“rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis.
