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.
