For various individuals, perhaps so, but for the greater society, I see it more in terms of mass psychosis.
Praise and acceptance are powerful motivators, especially coupled with condemnation for not falling in line, and this whole mad rush to turn 3 and 4 year olds into Trannies is actually being conducted by those who see themselves as virtuous for doing so. Various acts do not actually have to BE virtuous, only called such by people's peers.
Pedophiles talk about "freeing" children to be their "true selves" and helping develop their "awakening sexuality". The problem here, is that loony toon leftists are using the same themes, but it isn't that they actually want to fuck the little kids, only fuck with their minds. Either way, the poor child is horribly damaged, but the leftists are doing it because they are conditioning each other to support increasingly outré' behavior in a misplaced attempt to feel good about themselves through the seeking of praise from others.
