I blame the Internet.
Online you can change your avatar and username with almost no effort. People who spend too much time online can lose connection with their bodies, or treat them as “flesh avatars”, and want to change them in the same way.
Then for many teens identifying as transgender could be a way to annoy parents and teachers, like pretend Satanism in the 90s.

The internet is no doubt responsible for the proliferation of these distorted theories of gender etc but the genesis of this goes further back. Pope StJPII addresses some of the root causes in his “Theology of the Body” which are the compilation of his Wednesday audience talks between 1979 and 1984.
I liked the affirmation at the end of the article.
The USCCB doctrine committee reminds us that “the search for solutions to problems of human suffering must continue, but it should be directed toward solutions that truly promote the flourishing of the human person in his or her bodily integrity.” Pope Francis cautions us that young people need to be helped “to accept their own bodies” as created. Compassionate care for the person must be grounded in the truth about the person. Anything less falls short of true compassion and true care.
