Except girls ARE literally taking testosterone to flight from sexism. The number of teen girls deciding they are now boys have growing exponentially during the last years. And now you have to add the "non binary identities", which have a lower thereshold to decide they are no longer girls.

First, the number of transgender people overall has increased during the last decade. Second, we live in a sexist society right now, but it was worse in the 1990s. Women couldn't vote and were barred from most professions. Why weren't there as many transgender people back then. My guess personally is that being transgender has become more accepted and that's why more people are identifying as transgender. There is less stigma today being transgender than there was back then.

Lol citation needed

Also, why pretend like the umbrella for what’s considered trans and the criteria for being diagnosed/considered trans hasn’t widened considerably. If anyone who says they identify a certain way is trans, in the days of groupthink and social media trends, it stands to reason their numbers would increase
