I see this as well, and have a pathologically ‘wobbly’ kid in my caseload at the moment. What I find interesting about this trend is the frequency of mother-generated gender questioning plus maternal background of trauma and/or sexual perversions among primary relatives. Nothing new about multi-generational family pathology - and this concept needs to be actively applied to the trans kid epidemic on a cause/effect basis. While I believe the current trend is partially a fad I also view it as simply a new variety of an age-old human desire: seeking fame.
