Could this be why there are so many trans people all of a sudden?
No. Trans people have always been around. The media and politicians just chose to focus on them lately
I know they've always been around but there's a huge increase in the number of people that identify as trans over the last 15 years
Partly because media focus bringing attention to the idea you can be trans. Partly because increasing acceptance. Not breast milk hormones
Partly because it's gotten way less unnecessarily difficult to access transition care
