I think some transgenderism is the result of a desire of some young people to follow a trend.
While younger teenagers were just 7.6 percent of the total U.S. population, they made up roughly 18 percent of transgender people. Likewise, 18- to 24-year-olds made up 11 percent of the total population but 24 percent of the transgender population.
Some is greater social acceptance, too, no doubt.
