How many trans/detrans people would've never even considered transition had they never saw transition-related content online? Transition predates the internet, but no doubt the surge in people (esp. women & girls) seeking transition would NEVER have occurred without net access.

I know for sure that it made a difference for my son (ROGD at 16) as he “discovered he is trans” online. Also, one of his best friends (FtM) transitioned at the same time.
It's a massive red flag, the number of teens who transition in groups/after a friend has transitioned first. When I was a teen, the big thing was being emo, getting facial piercings etc. once one friend did it, the whole group followed suit to fit in and be "different."
