being trans or gay is such a big thing, I don't really think you can hide from being trans... It seems to me like it's being trivialized today, and some kids are pushed to say they are one just to be in trend with others. Body dysmorphia is no joke, it's like saying: there were always these many anorexic girls, they were just too shy to show it.

I don't believe this is generally true, and if it was true, I don't believe any doctors prescribing HRT are falling for it, and even if you proved a statistically improbable thing happened once or twice, the ratio of "trans kids hiding in the closet under coercion" to "cis kids pretending to be trans under coercion" would still be something like 999999:1.
