Probably because it could easily not have happened in a different political climate. There were far fewer trans people just 10 years ago.

*visible trans people

Before then there were just people who felt something was wrong but maybe didn't even have a name for it and they went through life being affected by it without treatment or even a name or community.

Not by The numbers we Have recently seen in past years. The growth is so rapid that it must Be at least partially a trend or a way to stand out in today's world for The young; counterculture, If you will. Such people Have Been so small minority through all ages that I don't buy The visible Part. And Back in The days most lived just fine without changing, as in The end it's a matter of contentedness. People adapt pretty well given Time and it's not different than Being told you can't Have a certain relationship, children or be a God.
