Any time you see gender-neutral language, like 'kids' & 'teens', then you know everyone is imagining boys anyway. "Trans kids & teens" doesn't necessitate the inclusion of girls. Also, so many of them identify as "non-binary", which no one takes seriously, which is probably half the reason they opt for identifying as binary boys.

The fact that ROGD appeared suddenly, recently, when it never used to exist, I think is a pretty good indicator that it will go away on its own. There are underlying problems that cause girls to self-harm in so many different ways. Until the underlying problem is found & solved they'll continue to find new & creative ways to harm themselves. The main problem is institutions sanctioning & assisting in their self-harm. However, veganism is also an identity-craze right now which the whole world accommodates for too, & that's definitely going to become an extinct fad, eventually.

Gender dysphoria didn't exist before the 20th century, but it's still a thing today even if wen't through a few name changes. Anorexia nervosa is also a social contagion, but it still exists. Actually, girls with anorexia seem to be overrepresented among the girls identifyng as "boys".

I wouldn't dismiss the girls who say they are "nonbinary" because seemingly for many this "identity" is a stepping stone to say they are the opposite sex.

And transactivists absolutely need girls if they want people to overlook the obvious fetishism present in the movement. Teen girls are more useful for that than teen boys. And because girls (and women, too) who claim to be te opposite sex are seen as less menacing, TRA have used them to advance the erasure of single-sex spaces. Furthermore, if there weren't girls and women who say they are anything else than female, how could TRA justify all those "inclusive" terms like "menstruators", "uterus-owners" or "bodies with vagina"?
