I mean even without grooming being in care often means you're more likely to be abused. I can def see it being a victim defence mechanism to try and escape sexual abuse too...

Abuse is also associated with being disassociated from your body which is another trait common in trans.

Tbh they should probably investigate when someone says that. Not saying it's always the case but I'd think abuse before I think actually trans. Especially with the reputation being in care has. You're already more vulnerable so it feels more likely that it's abuse for many.

Not that they will because things barely ever happen with abuse in care.
