What I would like to know (and see almost no one talking about) is: what is the gap between people who will say they identify as transgender in a poll and people who, having persisted with a clinic for years, are consistently diagnosed as gender dysphoric and continue to the later stages of gender affirming care? And how does this vary over time? And does this relate to economic status and religiosity?
My family has had an ongoing debate about the topic. Is Transgender or non-Binary sexual identification a social contagion? Is it a statistical event in which polling is conducted under more rigorous standards the result of which is identification of the genuine prevalence in society, or is it changing as we speak due to some genetic, evolutionary or environmental influences? It would be fascinating to understand more completely.
I have yet to find a nature-vs-nurture debate in which the truth is not “both”. I agree it would be fascinating to know its dynamics, if anyone can remain apolitical enough to collect objective data about it.
So, Democrats, what this means (should you be interested in truth) is:
1. You weren’t liberating them..
2. You were creating them…
3. Because you are the taste makers…
4. You are the Influencers..
5. Your self conception is flawed…
6. You feel like your cultural capital is spent on liberation…
7. But it’s really spent on fad creation
Progressives - update your priors. You ARE the culture. You no longer liberate, you create.
Be more thoughtful (and less arrogant) about the genuine effect you have on our people through your art, music, and media.

Apolitically objective? Is that an oxymoron?
Tautological.
