Maybe it’s similar to how more ppl identify as homosexual now that it’s generally accepted in the US vs the number of ppl who may in a repressive society like Iran.
Perhaps these ppl always existed but needed to keep that part of themselves quiet to be accepted in society.
Or maybe not, and this is a brand new phenomenon and ppl just want to be trendy. Honestly, it doesn’t matter.
Live and let live.
My presumption is, and this seems to be backed by clinical evidence, well sexuality issues may be relatively common and questioned*, often a perverted response turns them into body dysmorphia. A young girl who otherwise would’ve simply been a tom boy or lesbian, now might suffer from body dysmorphia, surgery, hormone distortion etc.
That does seem to be legitimate issue to me, however inappropriate some of the responses might be.
Personal stories were requested, will return w details later. Preferably in a Session chat if possible.
*(altho these also should be questioned, and chosen; not pseudo-mystical “destiny” or necessity as the culture implies)
