There are several pathways to LGBT,but one of the most common I think, is inflammation in one or several nodes of the brain-adrenal-thyroid-gonadal axis.

Examples of causes of LGBT: Mothers' autoimmunity to the male fetus genes (the Fraternal Birth Order effect); Allergic reactions during pregnancy (see the research of Kathryn Lenz et al.); PCOS in women (inflammatory in nature); disrupted dopamine and serotonin in the brain (due also to inflammation and manifests in addictions, obsessions); autoimmune thyroid disorders etc.

Dr. Will Powers has noted a very high level of inflammatory disorders in transgenders and calls it the Powers-Meyer syndrome.

Pollution, nutrient deficiency, high-sugar, high-fat diet, intolerant proteins, sleep disruption, artificial light, EMF-s, sedentary life increase inflammation and disrupt sexual hormones.

Given the rise in gender confused youth tracks with the release and rise of the iPhone and is most prevalent in relatively wealthy countries that can afford the phones for their kids. I think the social contagion theory makes the most sense. Started with Tumblr and tween girls then moved everywhere.

Then hospital administrators and unethical doctors found out that medicalizing children was a goldmine, and a continuous income stream.

Contagion is important, but it happens to people who are already in a physiological, psychological condition favorable to it. Many affective, cognitive states, behaviors are contagious, but we don't see the same explosive increase in other behaviors. Contagion can explain mild cases of dysphoria, but for severe cases where the person undergoes HRT and surgery it seems far fetched. It would be equivalent to getting major depression due to contagion. The more harmful is the behavior to self, the less it is susceptible to contagion.

Smart phone use has risen, so has sleep deprivation, electromagnetic fields exposure, lack of exercise, obesity (due also to excessive use of electronic media). These all increase inflammation and disrupt hormones.

Evidence has accumulated to support the idea that suicidal behavior is “contagious” in that it can be transmitted, directly or indirectly, from one person to another (Gould, 1990). This evidence is derived from three bodies of research: studies of the impact of media reporting on suicide, studies of suicide clusters, and studies of the impact on adolescents of exposure to a suicidal peer. In each case, suicide contagion can be viewed within the larger context of behavioral contagion or social learning theory. While research has also addressed the distinct but related topic of the contagion of nonsuicidal self-injurious behavior (Jacobson and Gould, 2009; Hawton et al., 2010; Whitlock, 2010), the current review focuses specifically on attempted and completed suicide
