I think the problem is you see alot of ASC kids (in fact most of them recently in my experience) claiming to be trans because of their black and white thinking they think if I don't fit the stereotype of a boy or a girl, I must be trans but when you actually speak to them they have no dysmorphia, no history of presenting as the opposite to their assigned gender etc. None of the things you would actually expect to see in someone who is truly transgender. And it's so dangerous because they then tend to get pushed down that path rather than letting them be.
But I see this happening an increasing amount in neurotypical kids too. Rather than just exploring your identity,they have to have a label and before they know it, they're in over their heads. It's so problematic but you just can't talk about it openly.
100% there are truly trans people, but it's just exploding like the latest fashion meaning those who truly want to transition have to wait longer because so many kids see it as a status and clog waiting lists.
