How do you otherwise explain the rise, since Shakespeare's time of gender confusion and what is your bias. Yes, people have felt differently about their born gender since indigenous called them two spirited, but the rise needs to be noted and the reasons also. You can deny all you want, but there's a definite connection that is not funded to explore. The not funded part is a clue that not one wants it officially known.

Your denial shows much ignorance in the toxins used on our food that leaks into our ground water supplies. You do not seem stupid to me and I hope you would explore this issue further and without bias.
