Has it never occured to trans activists that the massive surge in the number of gender clinic referrals is bad for trans people? Why do you think the waiting lists have gotten so ridiculously long? 1/3

That’s reductive. Trans people have always been subjected to incredible violence and discrimination— of course numbers of openly trans people were low until it became more socially acceptable and legal discriminations were rolled back somewhat. It’s less dangerous now.
I suggest you look into the massive shift in demographics and the fact that many of these young women and girls are lesbian, autistic and/or struggling with eating disorders or other body image issues. To boil it down to "it's more accepted now" is horrifically naïve.
