A study released in January 2019 by the US Center for Disease Control found that almost 2% of US high school students identified as transgender.

In a high school or 2000 that's around 40 students - does anyone remember 40 transgender students in their high school? Anyone who can't see this is a fad is in denial. But far from an organic fad, the transgender fad is top down, driven by people with a vested interest, as JulienMayfair notes.

I'm over 50, and in all those years of being a gay man, there is only ONE person I knew who transitioned. Including that person, I met ~3 trans people during the entire decade of the 1990s, living in a major California city. Prior to 1991, it was zero.
