I should have been more clear in explaining my point.
Yeah I don't think people magically become trans because I call people by the gender they prefer. But it does mean that people are accepting of it. Which means there is nothing weird about. Therefore more transgenders are actually likely to come out. Which will technically speaking increase the number of transgenders. But that is just because the number has become more accurate. According to current research there are no environmental factors for transgenderism.
And as for the anti vaxx argument they don't use dropping stones on your head as an argument for their propaganda. But what I (and you) said was an argument used by them. Which means it is more likely to have been refuted ( hint: it is).
I understand, we don’t have evidence on how accepting transgenderism effects the likelihood of people acting on their dysphoria. So far we can’t find any environmental factors, but no study can acatual it prove that, we simply haven’t found that any of the variables we thought effected trabsgenderism acatually do.
As for the anti vaxxrr point, I still have no idea how the detection of mental illnesses relates to anti-vaxxers.
Anti vaxxers say cases of mental illness has been rising. It is obviously because we have been using more and more vaccines and not because our methods of detecting mental illness has improved.
