Largely because psychiatrists were free to doubt the existence of “multiple personalities” and there is still considerable debate around the issue - the spike in diagnoses (sought and given) after the release of the novel and film Sybil is something worth mentioning too (that pesky social contagion issue cropping up again). Had psychiatry treated Gender Dysphoria along similar lines we would not be having the issues we have now, the trouble is they didn’t and they allowed the identitarians to run amok unchallenged.
