Normally I'd take the time to write an elaborate response to point out that transgenderism has been part of human societies for as long as we can check (the native American 'berdache', the middle eastern 'Xanith', Indian 'hijra', native Hawaian 'mahu', etc), and that our lack for
it's historical understanding is heavily influenced by the fact the West got bible-thumped for two millennia.
Instead, I'll just share this meme I found today, that captures the lameness of our modern day 'political discourse':
The whole idea that if we don't talk about it, kids wont experience it = bullshit.
Humans already tried that, remember? For centuries society pretended that gays and trans people didn't exist. Society tried to stamp it out, violently. Burn it at the stake and impale it in front of the city gates. Any talk, writing or display of homosexual/trans tendencies were forbidden.
Did it help?
Clearly not

otherwise we would not be here, where we are now.
People don't magically 'become LGBTQ' because they are exposed to the label.
Pretending that if you don't talk about LGBTQ, children won't 'become it', is dumb.
About as dumb as abstinence based sex-ed.
The existence of the label does not create gays or trans people: they were already there, the label is just the umbrella term to unite under so that society
can't keep pretending that they don't exist.
That's why visibility matters.
This post still became way too long. I'll take my rambing ass elsewhere.
