Teenagers are heavily influenced by their peers. If there is legitimate data that shows that girls in peer groups are all deciding to transition together or even mostly deciding to regardless of the size of the group then I would think that would be an important topic to explore. The desire to transition was very rare as far as I understand.
I feel that teenagers and young adults like to explore subjects that are known taboos. It seems reasonable to me that for every good there is a bad so we have to decide as a society to what degree making transitioning mainstream should outweigh the number of individuals who are harmfully transitioning.

As society has grown more accepting, the cost/benefit analysis changed. Saying that as somebody who lived in the closet for decades until that calculus became more favorable.
