I think the core issues of eating disorders are definitely self image/worth, identity issues, but there's also a social contagion aspect to it, especially among young tweens/teens.
Not so much as this transgender mind virus, which is only exacerbated and fuelled by MSM and even government fawning and falling all over themselves to pander to the troon cult.
Eating disorders were never mainstreamed and promoted by the media, you never saw a huge push to normalize anorexia and punish people who spoke up against it.
It's actually insane how transgenderism is treated if you stop to think about it.
There's never been another instance I'm aware of where a destructive and malignant mental illness (and that's what it is, when it comes down to it, as much as they may protest, and manipulate to have it removed from psychiatric textbooks) has been astroturfed by everyone from the medical industry, to the media, to politicians, all trying to gaslight the population into playing along with the sufferers delusions and outright denying objective reality and placing feelings over facts.
Sorry.
There are only Four Lights, Oceania were never our allies, and there's a huge fucking war in Ba Sing Sae.
