This would be a meaningful comparison if mountain biking was such a surefire way to fuck up your life.

You can absolutely ruin your health mountain biking. Breaking your neck is a thing that is more probable if you do mountain biking.

Wait, are you saying that transitioning is a surefire way to fuck up your life? Because for people with gender dysphoria it’s the exact opposite.

There's no way to tell how many of the kids didn't know they had gender dysphoria until they heard it's cool.
The growth figures for adolescents reporting GD can't be explained without a social contagion kind of thing.

Counter point is that I’m an adult who started transition at 36, and I really wish I’d known this was an option when I was younger. I knew trans people existed, but only as the butt of jokes. I wish I had understood this to be a real choice when I was younger.
