About 42,000 U.S. children ages 6 to 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2021, nearly triple the number in 2017, a unique data analysis for Reuters found.
Before anyone even says it, the rise in transgender people is not a shocking trend any more than the rise in left-handed people was when being left-handed started to become socially acceptable (see attached image). The same thing happened with autism as diagnosis procedures and education about autism became more wide-spread. Just like that and every other situation where there’s a spike, it doesn’t mean that it will continue forever or that it’s a crisis. It’s just people being their true selves because society has grown to accept them.
I can’t see the image, did you forget to attach it or is this a mobile app issue?
I guess it must be a mobile issue.
