Its popular my friend, any kind of popularity is good popularity for kids. Don't you remember the old joke about kids starting fires for attention. As you said , faking all those things are being done.. but tictok and these kids that live on it, are using a transgenderism for boosting their clicks. You say hormone theray is safe but it has been proven it is not, including cancers and bone issues that are permanent and require intense medical intervention. Again that is why the rest of the world, including England and France and Switzerland, that spear headed the trans movement and hormone treatment in the beginning, has stopped.
