The murder rate and the ice-cream-sales rate both look similar when graphed out. That doesn't mean they're related. This is literally the first lesson you learn about statistics in grade school.

You are correct that more Zoomers use social media and that more Zoomers identify as LGBT. Those two facts do not prove your assertion that they are causally linked.

Look, dippy, Younger people are more driven by social media trends while older people use social media as primarily a means of news and communication. While I can't discount the influence of Social Media on news, Social Media mostly supports already existing political beliefs. Bottom line is more young people identify as Trans because it is a trend that capitalizes on kids who feel they need more acceptance in general and seek out any social groups they can find. Period. It's what drew me to associating more with the darker side kids, the troublemakers, etc when I couldn't find acceptance from the popular social groups in high school. Quote “There he goes.

No because everyone needs doctors for the common malady's that almost all of us suffer from. There will always be a need for Cardiologists, allergists, physical therapists, prenatal doctors and nurses, general practitioners, you name it but doctors who specialize in Trans issues have a much shallower pool to fish from. Why would they impeded their sources of revenue? Quote “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind, never even considered for mass production.

If there are people specializing in gender-affirming care, they already ARE impeding their sources of revenue by choosing to specialize in a field as small as gender-affirming care.
