Every girl I knew in high school in the 2000s watched Yaoi and didn't turn trans. Girls in Japan have been watching it even longer with no side effects.

Why is this happening now, and why only in the west?

Because, I believe, Japan still goes by the transsexual ideology rather than the transgender ideology. There's still cultural and/or medical gatekeeping, unlike here.
