Indeed, I think that's one factor.

For adults?
To be fair, several countries disagree with how America handles medicine.Several countries disagree with how America is handling it all.
Gender dysphoria is rising—and so is professional disagreement

More children and adolescents are identifying as transgender and offered medical treatment, but some providers and European authorities are urging caution because of a lack of strong evidence.www.bmj.com
(Sorry couldn’t resist.)
Disagreement in medicine is healthy and our modern understanding of this phenomenon is fairly recent. It will require a lot more research. People are complicated by nature. That medicine takes a preventative approach by default means this is a thing handled during and even before puberty. Which perhaps increases the complications. Which is why surgery is usually held off for as long as possible.
I wish it was clear cut. But we will need to proceed with caution

@icehorse. Not only this but
Even if true put the numbers in perspective? Trans folk are and have always been a small number. Just cuz there's a 2000% increase doesnt mean a lot more people have transitioned. For example if only 1 person had say brown hair dyed yesterday then today there's now only 2 people with brown hair dyed it would be a 100% increase in folk with brown hair dyed if im understanding correctly
So how many identified as such previously and how many do now?

Look at the numbers on this study. It shows that while there was an increase of trans youth the numbers of them are still very very small hardly a trend

You missed what that thread was about. Its about how others countries don't agree with how tge US is handling things.
I thought my comment of "Several countries disagree with how America is handling it all" was pretty clear

I'm just pointing out that the argument that there's an increase thus the US should change things is moot.

"Meanwhile, the number of US private clinics focused on providing hormones and surgeries have grown from just "a few a decade ago to more than 100 today."
A few is defined as a small number but lets go with 10.
10 to 100
What percent increase is that for clinics?

10% I believe. Not sure I have dyscalculia and suck at math

900% increase.
So why did clinics increase by 900% if transgeder increase is a small percent?

Sorry to hear you have dyscalculia.

I suck at math. But looking at the study I linked it lists the exact numbers and they all sound small to me compared to the amount of minors in the US.

How many people are 18-29 in the US
53.5 million (16.1%)
So of that 16.1%, 5.1% say say their gender differs from their sex that was assigned at birth.
53.5 million x.051= 2.78 million

2.78 million is hardly a fun trend folk are doing. It is small in comparison.

IMO 5.1% is not really small number for only 16.1% of the population.
