"Until 2015 or so, a very small number of these boys comprised the population of pediatric gender dysphoria cases. Then, across the Western world, there began to be a dramatic increase in a new population: Teenage girls, many with no previous history of gender distress, suddenly declared they were transgender and demanded immediate treatment with testosterone."

That's what's so striking. Why is that happening? There's a controversy over this.[1] It's been observed in (at least) Australia, Canada, the UK, France, Sweden, and the US. People involved in studying this have been attacked, and as a result, there's not much new data since the big controversy in 2018.
