Seconding what you said, also:

Part of these girls start to identify as trans because it became socially acceptable. This is their solution to being subjected to abuse at home or some other abuse they experienced in life (be it physical, sexual abuse or even bullying, psychological abuse), as well as when they’re subjected to sexism. Of course ordinary ways of dealing with that are no longer accepted, because in their contagions if any wanted to speak her mind why there is such toxicity towards woman (and by women too!) she would be called a nasty TERF. It’s straight up preying on the vulnerable youth, who rarely has a good solution to their issues.

I live in a country where many complain about the mental healthcare and I see more and more teens on Twitter becoming trans. Of course 9 out of 10 are girls, claiming to be trans men or nonbinary. This is both the social contagion and also the fault of parents who either caused them to seek comfort in such cursed communities or didn’t teach them to be more responsible. But then, adolescence is always a stupid age. Yet until some trends weren’t made popular, no one would see so many teenagers do that.
