@bperez8656 I appreciate your discussion, and willingness to consider different possibilities. The only point I would want to underline is that, unlike being LGB, being trans requires supportive treatments that can be quite extensive and even carry some risk. A person who is gay, etc., may benefit from psychotherapy due in large part to how our society is configured, to marginalize all but the neurotypical heterosexual, but gayness is in no way a disorder. You will not find it in any legitimate DSM, and no surgery or hormones are ever necessary simply because a person is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. This is a reason to ask questions about transgender conditions. No, it isn't clear that it's only the fact that people can now declare who they are that accounts for the numbers. Sure, that could turn out to be true. It may not be. It is not super common sense at all.
A lot of things are happening to the environment, not just global warming, and entire species are dying off at record rates. Every condition causing emotional suffering and increasing in frequency needs to be looked at closely, without preconceived notions. I only fear that we aren't going to see that happening. I don't think gender dysphoria is the only one, and it may not even fall into the category of being due to environmental disruption. I think lots of other things may turn out to be environmentally triggered. I don't trust the current NIH to find out the truth, either.
