“...kids all want to be a star of some sort. So what better way to stand out then look like a freak.”
That, and they want to be part of a group. So by being trans, they can both belong AND standout!
Many/most of the girls have other mental health issues such as slight autism, aspergers, depression, anxiety, OCD, etc. These issues can also make it difficult them to fit in socially.
The trans cult (there are SO MANY similarities to the obvious cults) gives these kids a place to belong and to be the solution to their problem.
As others have noted, the element of female hysteria is involved. (Cults and female hysteria come under the more likable name of “social influence”). And most of us are ALL socially influenced to some degree or another.
It’s not just the states. One of Pelosi’s things on the agenda is a national equal rights for transgenders. This will not only allow boys to play on girl’s teams in sports, share bathrooms, etc. But will also make it against the law to offer therapy in a non-affirming way to transgenders. (It would be seen as “conversion” therapy, which as you state, is already illegal in many states.)
I'd say it has already blown - or started to fizzle - as a bunch of these kids decide it's OK to kill their peers.
The Left’s big lie here is that “conversion therapy” is “wrong” and should be criminalized but counseling a child/teen/minor to dress as the opposite sex, encouraging such fantasy, and administering horomonal treatments and even using surgery IS conversion therapy (and it is “sacred” to the Left).
Same with the mentoring/grooming homosexuals do when they “shield” minors from counseling to not “question” or “experiment” with homosexuality.
We were told that homosexuality was about the actions of consenting adults in private. It sure isn’t anymore. And they swore that there was no agenda either.

But...isn’t the term “dysphoria” used in a clinical diagnosis?
That means all forms of “dysphoria” are maladies or illnesses, right?
Hormone treatments can be obtained on the very first visit if the kid has done enough research on the trans sites and can lie well. Sometimes it takes two visits.
Dr. Lisa Littman ran a survey of parents of kids with “Rapid Onset Gender Disorder”. Of course the trans cult says that it was not “scientific”. That may be true - but it sure warrants more study:

Excerpt:
Parents identified the sources they thought were most influential for their child becoming gender dysphoric. The most frequently answered influences were: YouTube transition videos (63.6%); Tumblr (61.7%); a group of friends they know in person (44.5%); a community/group of people that they met online (42.9%); a person they know in-person (not online) 41.7%.
In contrast to the majority of responses, two participants commented that they didn’t think the sources influenced their child to become gender dysphoric, rather they gave their child a name for their feelings or gave the child confidence to come out. The following quotes illustrate the dominant quantitative findings.
One parent wrote, “We believe the biggest influence was the online pro-transition blogs and youtube videos. We feel she was highly influenced by the ‘if you are even questioning your gender-you are probably transgender’ philosophy…
In the ‘real world’ her friends, other trans peers, and newfound popularity were additional areas of reinforcement.” Another respondent described the online influence as part of a different question, “I believe my child experienced what many kids experience on the cusp of puberty—uncomfortableness!—but there was an online world at the ready to tell her that those very normal feelings meant she’s in the wrong body.”
Note - some of the youtube transgenders are “famous”, and promote their various speaking tours around the country!
No influence from television (un)reality shows, magazine covers in the school libraries, etc etc? It’s just the internet? (’most frequently cited’ sources)
Children are being groomed. There is no doubt.
And some have regrets about making the change within 1 or 2 years. And their biological transition (that normally occurs during puberty) is already screwed by the “treatments”.
It’s a fad. Teachers look for it and nurture it and encourage the kid to go to a “counselor” who wants nothing more than another kid becoming “trans.”
It’s insanity. No one is transgender.
It is driven by the mass number of useful idiots in this world who simply do what their told to do.

Well, it’s one way to clear out the gene pool now that stupidity is not so likely to be fatal.
Female Hysteria.
Exactly. It happens when the gaggle gathers.
Try telling that to men with Complete Androgen Sensitivity Syndrome. They're basically women (the default setting for humans), because their cells have no testosterone receptors. They are some of the true transgender people out there. And nobody, it seems, has asked them whether they feel insulted by all this preferential clownishness.
Try look up intersexed people or XX men or people with Kleinfelder's (sp?) Syndrome (gene combos such as XXY, XXYY, XXXYY, etc.). I'll bet nobody's asked them about how they feel, either.
You can bet those kids in the sticks also have active, involved fathers, possibly with higher T levels than the sick, sad norm of today’s youth.
Yes indeed they do.
