We now have a generation of young people who don't know who they are...That's not too uncommon, as most young people have to find their way in life and settle into adulthood. What is unique about this generation is that they don't know what they are.
Some law institute in UCLA: "Over 1.6 million adults (ages 18 and older) and youth (ages 13 to 17) identify as transgender in the United States, or 0.6% of those ages 13 and older."
Hardly "a generation".

It's much higher on the coasts. And you aren't counting the kids who now identify as non-binary or homosexual. Sure, it's still a minority, but it's a very vocal minority and it's growing. Rapidly.

It would be well within the abilities of an average human, even if there is a feeling that you're the wrong gender, to live a normal, well-adjusted, self-mutilation-free life. The self-mutilators are not set apart by their gender dysphoria, as much as they're set apart by their inability to deal with it and move on. If you're compelled to self-mutilate because of your beliefs that don't align with reality, then it's fair to say you're mentally ill.

They've also been led to believe that if only they self-mutilate, then they will be happy, bunnies, rainbows and white picket fences. Such a horrible, destructive lie, and not supported by existing research.

Oh well, they kill themselves in ever-increasing numbers. I suspect when they stack the bodies high enough, things will change...

Ma'am, if you would just walk out of the house and sniff the air in the public square, you might have an epiphany.

Yep that's a received mind worm that makes it more difficult to be happy and well adjusted, after you first begin wondering whether you might have gender dysphoria.
Just another leftist mind worm that ends up inflicting a lifetime of stress, for no benefit. It joins the ranks of the race narrative mind worm, which is a permanent tax on the peace of mind of American blacks.

That's actually the thing. It's not about the small fraction who actually have gender dysphoria. It's that gender dysphoria is now treated as a virtue.
Identifying as transgender is a child's ticket to a massive outpouring of support, protection, advocacy and social credibility. All you gotta do is get mutilated and screw your body up with hormones.
Anybody who thinks this issue is getting blown out of proportion has clearly not stepped inside a school in the past decade.

I wonder how many Blacks you score on the oppression scale by being trans? I think the score is actually greater than 1. Maybe for the first time, there is a new oppression king. I don't expect that to last. Gay is like .2, female is like .1, latino is .3, black is 1.0, trans is currently 1.3?

Sounds about right.
Don't forget the groups who score zero.

Yeah. I think there's an important distinction between groups who score negative, zero, and positive. Anybody who scores positive, gets to be in the club. (This matters in DEI events at work, which matter to HR, which informs hiring and promoting policies, and therefore it matters in your career.)
White males score negative, I would say asians males score zero, and everybody else has a positive score.
