If kids are "catching gender dysphoria" because of social media, it's because visibility matters. People see others, it is discussed, and they ... recognize some aspect of themselves in it.
That's it. One of the reasons I recognized I was queer early on was because... my mom had gay and lesbian friends and the visibility gave me a name for something.
THIS. IS. A. GOOD. THING.

@petrillic A similar thing had happened to autism, a sudden rise in diagnosis because people knew what to look for. Good for you for finding yourself early :)
