It's cute but a diversion. They're 2 separate topics. Identity isn't a feeling. It's biological fact and deeply ingrained into our very being, right down to our DNA. It's what compels our maturation as human beings. That's why puberty is so important. It's a biological development, no different than any other stage of our development. It's compelled by everything that we're built from. An adolescent has no idea where the changes of puberty are going to take him/her because it is out of their control, no different than your eye colour or the freckles on your face, except it runs even deeper than that. Our existence depends on the binary that is gender. Without it, we'd be no better than one celled creatures because that binary allows us the genetic diversity to stay alive. There is no other system of procreation in all the so called advanced life forms. It's that vital to our survival. Our "feelings" can't change that.
A dog can hump my leg, but that doesn't mean that it's found a new gender. It's responding to a primal urge that's within all of us, that is beyond our feelings. It's a call to life itself. We accept that a person could be attracted to the same sex but that's a lot different than claiming to be another gender or one that they've just made up. That's a feeling and has nothing to do with biology, no matter what the egghead intellectuals or a Supreme Court Justice says. Claiming to be Jesus Christ or Napoleon doesn't make it so, no matter who much you wish it or feel it. Cutting off body parts and attempting to fashion new ones doesn't change your gender, no different that sticking a sow's ear on a horse won't change that sow into a pony.

Are you EVER misunderstanding the point that I'm making. I hope that you're not doing this intentionally.
I will try one more time. The claim is that lack of gender affirmation is causing suicides. There was no such thing as gender affirmation 50 years ago. In Britain, transgender cases have skyrocketed, in the last 10 years by 4000 percent and most of them are girls. Intersex cases were almost exclusively boys in the past and now it's girls. If that is the TRUE number of transgender population, how is it that the suicide rates for girls are on the rise, among those who are transgender, when 50 years ago they couldn't even get the affirmation they claim that they so badly need. No affirmation and no chance of surgery, either yet suicide rates are on the rise. Were those girls so much tougher back then?
Also, you're claim that people have is tough today, doesn't past the muster either. 90 years ago there was the great Depression. Ordinary people, even in America, were scrounging for food and living in abject poverty. Then came the WW2. Not exactly a time of wealth for average people and then they had to contend with the new spectre of nuclear war which extended through the Cold War. When I was a kid, in the sixties, every large explosive sound would compel the search for a mushroom cloud on the horizon. Blacks in America were living under Jim Crow. Gays were reviled and transgenders lived an underground existence. The last 30 years were the best in human history, with more people coming out of abject poverty than at any time in history only blunted by the advent of Covid and the world reaction to it. Covid and the Covid response resulted in over 250 million people falling BACK into abject poverty, abject poverty being less than 1.90 in US dollars a day.
So don't give me this "times are tough" nonsense. 95% of all humans lived in abject poverty 150 years ago, no welfare, socialised medicine, retirement pension plans or the means to access affordable food. Being gay is widely accepted and anyone claiming to be trans is being affirmed by their schools, medical practitioners, the law and businesses. The rainbow flag is everywhere. Even the crosswalks in my small town are painted to reflect the acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
Your assertions are bogus and the facts don't bear them out.
