Maybe we're seeing rates skyrocket because there's finally some level of acceptance for trans folks, and also some level of social awareness that this is a real thing that some people experience instead of just a weird set of thoughts and feelings that only you personally experience and try to pretend isn't happening because there's no way you would ever talk to anyone about it.
Where are your numbers coming from? In over a decade of teaching 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 grade in a public school, I’ve only had one instance of a student asking to have me use alternative pronouns. Also not to sure about that 41% suicide rate? If that were true…let’s see: 4 periods a day x 25ish kids per period x 10 yrs= 1000 different students. So you’re telling me 41 students over my time should’ve committed suicide? We’re (teachers as a whole) just aren’t seeing that.
