More fundamentally, I no longer believe that transgender is any real phenomenon. Sure, there are effeminate gay men who are uncomfortable with their sexual orientation, there are AGP fetishists, girls traumatized by CSA, girls with BPD, and butch women who are pressured by gender norms and succumb to peer pressure. None of these conditions require medical transition. Sorry, I just don't believe in it anymore.

While there are definitley some genuine ones, I agree that the vast majority of the T's who have come crawling out of the woodwork fall into the categories you mentioned. Social media has so much to do with this. Having some "identity" to give meaning to your life has become an end in and of itself. What amazes me is that it takes over their whole lives. It used to be that people who obsessed over one aspect of themselves would be told "there's more to life than..." since we now live in clown world, they are told that it is AMAAAAYYYYZING and thus continue the obsession to the exclusion of most other things.
