I don't know why I feel the need to say this but I feel like I just have to vent it out to the void somewhere.

I don't like Jontathan Haid's Anxious Generation. I also don't like the discourse around that book and its controversy.

It's so...shallow and incomplete. It spins a grand narrative and fails to acknowledge the thousand other reasons why people are anxious. It doesn't even address the fact that rates of anxiety have been on the rise since the '70s.

Oh and please stop pathologising transness. Conflating social contagion theory with rising rates of gender dysphoria and then commenting on the rising number of trans people is biassed and harmful. A scientist would know better than to draw a conclusion like this without either exploring the case, evidence and possible alternative explanations or at the very minimmum considering the ethics of this. Haid's tone and wording lacks any of the mentioned nuance, instead it offers more ammunition that will undoubtedly be used against the community.

Also maybe explore the evidence more? Economics do play a role. Political instability also plays a role. Increasing suburbanisation and car reliance also plays a role.

Lastly, trying to fit everything into the gender binary means one loses a tonne of nuance. Haid says girls are communal and boys "action driven" which apparently allows him not to examine male online communities and the imapct of not being accepted by one's male peers. How can this be omitted in an age where figures such as Jordan Peterson and other conservative male role models dominate the debate on masculinity and accrue thousands of followers? Add to this that male loneliness is also one the rise, a point Haid does menttion.

I just don't get Haid. I think he sees everything from a specific perspective and refuses to explore alternatives with their respective nuances. It just feels kind of incomplete. Way too many anectdotes. I don't know it feels lazy not to go the extra mile and at least try and interface with the literature.

If you have Spotify reblog this and tag what your number one song on your “on repeat” playlist is.
