Transgender person here, when the idea of rapid-onset gender dysphoria came out and started circulating a lot of us were divided on the issue and fell into some camps.
1. This isn't a real thing and was going to be used by doctors as an excuse to parents for not paying attention to their kids. AKA: the parent who neglects their kid, "My child never said this before?!" Meanwhile there child has probably been trans for as long as they can remember.
2. ROGD was not a thing.
3. ROGD is not really a thing, but if it gives people an excuse to explore their gender identity, it could be good thing.
4. It is a thing.
5. It is a thing and you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans, only euphoria with whatever your chosen gender is.
Either way, most of us realized that this was going to be bad for us in the future, even if it was nothing.
