Mental illness meets social contagion.
I think you're on to something. Whether it's mental illness, depression, and so forth... it seems looking to one's sexual identity is a solution now.
A permanent solution to a temporary problem, like suicide.
You can always change back, granted, but you can't undo surgery and you can't untake hormones. You can't even unchoose to be the person who succumbed to the social contagion, because of your own personal demons, and the opportunity for a facile social solution.

They're kids. Little unformed minds of mush.
Look, I have a granddaughter that's very bright. Not genius, but really bright for a six year-old. I make the mistake sometimes of treating her like she's nine or ten, until reality jerks me back.
She may be reading books that high school kids read, but she thinks unicorns are the bestest thing ever. And she can speak cat to her pet, Penelope.
In short, she's learning, she's growing and having the experiences that make her a functioning, self-sufficient adult.
Like almost all kids, she'll arrive at that destination sometime in her twenties. She, nor any other child, needs to be pushed into something they are not by a brain-damaged, maladjusted adult.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

I currently identify as an incredibly wealthy tycoon who owns a live-aboard dive yacht in the Caribbean, whose every need is attended to by a harem of gorgeous women who all think I am a god. Also, velociraptors. Lots of them. Just, you know, to keep things interesting.

I bet you also wear a black patch over your left eye and sport a SPECTRE ring on your right hand ring finger.
Yeah, I’d be mindful of those bikini toting wimmenzes too.

@LuFins-Dad , have these kids cause you any trouble?

Yes. What’s it to you?

The whole “they aren’t hurting anyone else so let them live their lives” fallacy is so fundamentally flawed that I’m not surprised you brought it up.

I have two.
Both are girls who transitioned to boys. One I am on board with. She had suffered depression her whole life until she transitioned.
The other breaks my heart. I thought of calling her parents to beg them not to let her do anything permanent, but didn't. Once they are 18 there's not much her parents could do. I know her father is having a hard time with it.

Well, if you don’t mind sharing, what troubles have they caused you?
Well let me think…Let’s start with Chris/Krista. A young man that’s stayed overnight with us on many occasions and that Luke’s travelled with on vacation. A family that Karla and I count the parents as among our best friends…
Do you think that the fact that his emotional and psychological health health has deteriorated to this point WOULDN’T trouble us? Should we not care that he’s now on a medical path that leads to a young man being 8 times more likely to commit suicide? Do you think it shouldn’t trouble us that his autism and other mental and emotional health problems are not being addressed appropriately? And instead he had been lead down this path by a fucking High School Guidance Counselor? That shouldn’t trouble us? It’s none of our concern? A family has been broken up, our friends are hurting, a young man we care snout’s life and health are at risk, and you ask why would this cause us troubles?
Fuck you.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
