My opinion is that being trans, whatever that means, isn't a thing in itself. It is always a sympton of another thing.

For young girls it's a reaction to being sexualised or sexually assaulted, to escape femininity.

For young boys it could be homophobic parents treating them as a girl, it could be a reaction to seeing how girls get preferential treatment.

For most "trans kids" (I hate the term) their issues resolve themselves after puberty, when the crazy hormones and changes have settled down and their minds become more mature. But when doctors and TRAs tell them that perfectly natural fears about bodily changes, and a dislike of your body during puberty, are actually evidence of you being the other sex, and that "bexoming trans" solves this, then of course the kids would jump at it. Puberty sucks for most people at some point.

As for the adults...

There are no old women suddenly becoming men.

And for older men it's usually a reaction of sexual excitement at the idea of being a woman. This is the "euphoria" people speak of. It feels good to them, feels right, so they have a compulsion to continue. Denying them their fantasy kills their euphoria boner.

This sexual fetish is called autogynephilia.

The only way to treat the symptom is to trest the cause. "Being trans" isn't the problem, but it is a problem because it isna symptom of something else wrong.

And what that wrong thing is is different for each person.

If "being kind" and "playing along with their delusion" is making them aroused, I'm never going to call them what they want to be called ever again. Holy shit that's nasty.

While 'old' is relative I know of three women in their 30s/40s, all mothers, who are calling themselves men now. They are all friends of friends, two started the NB to transmasc to 'man' train around the time their youngest went to school, the third decided she was a man shortly after becoming a mother. One of the first two is married to a woman, the other two are married to men. At least one of them has a 'transkid.' The first two have always struck me as quite narcissistic. I don't really know the third woman but I wonder if she's having some sort of post partum psychosis, either way I feel extremely sorry for her baby and husband.

It's probably the smallest demographic of the transing population, but for a certain type of narc woman who likes to control those around her, transing is a powerful weapon to wield.

That's really interesting. I wonder if that ties into the Munchausen issue, because it does seem to be older women who want to trans their kids.

Narcissism and control seems like a good place to start looking.

Or its more likely TBFH the new "i'm totes bi guys!!!!/otherkin" with a shitload of affirmation thrown at them

The numbers spike is pretty much seems to be only on females, the male numbers are/were pretty static.

For most "trans kids" (I hate the term) their issues resolve themselves after puberty, when the crazy hormones and changes have settled down and their minds become more mature.

The problem is puberty blockers and the pretty much full scale abandonment of "wait and see" approach. over 90% of childhood gender dysphoria self corrects during puberty, put a kid on blockers and it seems to not self correct at all. But disturbingly the fact that puberty blockers causes a temp issue to continue and that is seen as good thing...

Personally I think its going to be this generations thalidomide baby scandal or maybe Lobotomy.
