Abstract
an historical ontology is conducted to look at the limitations of the Ian Hacking’s ecological niche framework (1998). As an example, the recent controversial emergence of rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) in the US is employed. This theory was proposed in 2018 and has been largely rejected by conventional medical structures. However, ROGD has seen activity in other areas of society. In past publications the limitations of some vectors of the ecological niche framework have been identified and addressed. Namely the vectors of observability (Brossard, 2019) and release (Neufeld and Foy, 2006). Both introduce three tiers of either observers or types of release to differentiate between different actors involved in the processes surrounding mental illnesses. This analysis shows that a similar three tier adaptation can be made to the vector of medical taxonomy to help differentiate between the different pathways the legitimization of medical knowledge can take.
