Evidence Backs the Transgender Social-Contagion Hypothesis
The Wall Street Journal, By Colin Wright, Oct. 29, 2025
“The notion that transgender identity is biologically hard-wired can’t explain why there has been a more than 20-fold surge in those identifying as transgender in the U.S. since 2010. The social-contagion hypothesis was never hateful. It was purely descriptive: a recognition that social and cultural factors shape human behavior. For years, even hinting that such factors influenced transgender identities could end a career. Now, as data accumulate, this is becoming harder for anyone to deny.”

New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist and newly minted winner of the NYC Democratic mayoral primary, has proposed a $65 million taxpayer-funded plan to expand sex change drugs and surgeries across the city. His campaign platform details sweeping financial support for what he calls “gender-affirming care,” a term broadly encompassing irreversible procedures and hormone treatments for both minors and adults.
According to Mamdani’s official campaign site, his administration would allocate $57 million of the proposed budget to city hospitals, community clinics, and nonprofits providing sex change services. An additional portion would fund “gender-affirming telehealth” and enforcement actions against medical institutions that decline to participate.
The candidate also vows to investigate hospitals that “deny trans youth their rightful healthcare” and to hold public hearings aimed at punishing such entities. His proposal states that New York must become a “sanctuary city” for LGBTQ+ individuals, complete with a new city agency: the “NYC Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs.”
What is behind the Mamdani $65,000,000 bombshell?
