This is a well-written and well-argued article that offers some interesting analytical insights into the transgender phenomenon. Of particular interest is the viral nature of American ideas, which the Internet has empowered to spread around the world, particularly to Europe. It is a sort of Montezuma's Revenge, if you'll pardon the pun, that American neo-progressive ideas are colonising Europe so readily, not just with gender ideology but also with notions of white supremacy and a very American-style racialism.
Of course, as more and more people undertake the treatments on offer (especially children, and especially those children who show a sudden emergence of the phenomenon), there will be a larger and larger share of people who regret undertaking permanent life-altering medical interventions. It remains to be seen if the edifice crumbles under the weight of its own contradictions...or, rather, it remains to be seen how long this process takes, since it is as inevitable as the downfall of any religion.
I think that eventually as this trans religious wave will pass, people will understand that: you cannot change your sex but you can express yourself in any way you want. Like for example, makeup Youtuber John Maclean.
I was looking at plastic surgery statistics in the US and in per capita terms, there was a slight decrease in the number of plastic surgeries from 2000 to 2020. But we had the creation of this new category of gender transition plastic surgeries (which are about 1% of all plastic surgeries). So, there is no general increase in the desire for body modification but just a shift of this desire that has been channeled into this cult.
