    Considering it’s only relatively recently that being trans wouldn’t get you arrested (and earlier murdered), of course there are more openly trans people now!

        Right after that you suggest that the number of trans people now over the past is something about trans people and not about humanity.

        The number of trans people has not changed.

        The number of trans people who feel comfortable in their own bodies has changed.

          This could be true. You’re claiming it way too strongly, I think. It could also be that the acceptance of transgenderism is causing people to form transgender identities. This is not an absurd concept given neuroplasticity and the theory of Behaviorism.
