James Lindsay about "Transhausen by proxy"

James Lindsay: "There are psychological pressures in these moms where they call it Transhausen by proxy as a joke referring to Munchausen's by proxy which is a serious psychological disorder that turns out to be the mother gaining sympathy points by damaging her children and in this case the sympathy points are inclusion virtue points, say: "Look how hard my life is, look how brave I am, look how inclusive I am, 3 of my kids are trans and I haven't turned even one of them out" or something like this.

So the mom is collecting in that case, possibly in some cases for certain, virtue points through the inclusion metric which is the incentive that Charlie Munger would: "Show me incentives, I'll show you the outcome", that's been incentivized so strongly. It's the new value system for the West if these people get their way.

So they're incentivized to Munchausen's by proxy which is again a serious psychological disorder that it ends up abusing children for a narcissist parent and they're incentivized to express it in this direction.

And once you go a little bit down that road, once you subject your child to a medical procedure that could have life altering consequences, you're all in. How are you going to go back. How are going to admit: "I screwed up my kid like to that degree...""
