Repeat: peer-reviewed medical statistics say that gender dysphoria appears in one in 30,000-110,000 births. Black's Medical Dictionary (2017) is right in the middle of this range; one in 30,000 boys, one in 100,000 girls; one in 65,000 for both sexes.
Not the one in 65 claimed by the "trans" activists.
So, small wonder, those wretched and vile activists say that dysphoria is not prerequisite to the joy of "trans," that it takes nothing more than self-identification. This is insane. It allows disturbed, shallow, and impressionable teens to use "trans" as a way to get attention or to escape their unhappy lives into a fantasy of specialness, with the bonus benefit of feeling important enough to be persecuted.
But, let's not forget, that about one in a thousand of the "trans" actually are dysphoric, an invisibly small sliver of the movement, and they are being dragged along by an ideology that very few of them want.
The same cannot be said for the "nonbinary," for which there is zero psychological basis whatsoever. There have been gender-indifferent people as long as there have been people but they didn't form a movement and didn't run around yelling at people about their magic pronouns or their magic names.
“Everything I don’t like is right-wing”. Many of the parents of ROGD youth are left-wing and often lgbt themselves.
This isn’t the 1990’s.
Children today cannot remember a time before Obergefell. Virtually every American high school has a GSA club.
The trope of the gay kid being bullied by the closeted jock is from the past.
Why is 1 in 4 incoming freshman to U Wisconsin trans-identified?
Left handed-ness is 1 in 10, by comparison.
Assuming trans acceptance organically increased the numbers 10x, we’d be at 60 per 100,000. Not 25,000, lol.
Over diagnosis hurts everyone, including trans people themselves. Nobody is winning here.

One in 65,000. The rest are fakes.
