This is barely related, but two of my former classmates - who are nearly 30 - have recently come out as non-binary. They are both feminine heterosexual women who, of course, got "the cut" and dyed their hair rainbow colors but still very much present as women (though one says she eventually wants to get top surgery).

Both of them say they used their free time during the pandemic to "explore" their gender (read: Tumblr and related forums). It's interesting that many trans and non-binary identified people backtracked during the pandemic, while many others used it as an impetus to identify as such. It's still clear that this is a huge social trend, rather than gender dysphoria.

And they are nearly 30!?!?!? Millions of us were (and are) struggling with a huge loss of income and our world being turned upside down, and these women pushing 30 have time to play on the GenderNet and act like immature 13 year olds trying to be edgy. "First World Problems" doesn't begin to describe it.
