IMO the transgender craze mirrors some of what happened in the 80s with regards to Attention Deficit Disorder, and Ritalin. Teachers, principals, and school counselors with zero training in medicine, psychology, or pharmacology, self-diagnosed children with ADD and was a driving force for pushing the dramatic increase in the usage of such medications. From a personal perspective, when I was but a wee young girl in elementary school, a bit hyperactive, the school made it clear that as far as they were concerned I had ADD, and I must be put on medication before they would allow me to return to the classroom. Forgetting for a moment that a school cannot do this legally, my parents were summarily cowed enough to put me on medication to appease the education establishment. The author of the aforementioned article makes a very good point but I don't think they stated the conclusion in loud enough terms: People are self-diagnosing, then demanding medical care they don't need, while claiming any resistance is discriminatory. Out of fear, I think doctors and therapists are getting intimidated and going along with it.
