That's a good explanation of physical sex characteristics development in the womb, as well as deviation from expected norms. It leads me to think that this is also where genuine gender dysphoria takes place. You used the word rare, which is why it is justifiable to call the current trans phenomenon a fad.

I mentioned the chromosome-based presence or absence of an identifiable paternal haplogroup because that chromosome comes from the father at conception which is why I opined that sex is determined at conception. Both males and females are subject to complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS) [micro-penis for the female]. I think, but don't know, that gender dysphoria is related where brain development is affected, rather than genital development. Question: does homosexuality tie into this?
I see no reason to assign a value judgement to the occurrence of any of these conditions. Because of the fact that they are rare, less rare for homosexuality, they are often thought to be abnormalities which unjustifiably comes with baggage. A fad, rather than syndrome based, embrace of transsexuality imposes that baggage unnecessarily which does make it seem harmful to me.
I would guess that homosexuality is so constant across time and culture that it's as much of an equilibrium as anything could be. Regardless of acceptance or the health of the parents or any other discernible factor.
I don't know how constant dysphoria is but the literature calls it one in 30,000 male / 100,000 female births, and at present we are being told about a thousand times that albeit by people who have an aggressive agenda and a marked disinterest in truth. And, as in the title above, an indifference to logic.
Stemming from Freud’s a-scientific theories of human libidinal emotions--- oral, anal, phallic, oedipal-- the psychological sciences have been too disconnected from the neuropsychological basis of human sexuality, which is why ridiculous ideas like “gender is a social construct” can be entertained.
The science of human sexuality is extraordinarily complex, and very incomplete. One example from the excellent, but dense: Panksepp, Jaak; Biven, Lucy. The Archaeology of Mind: Neuroevolutionary Origins of Human Emotions (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) (p. 282). W. W. Norton & Company. Kindle Edition.:
“Sexuality is further complicated (especially at the tertiary-process level for humans) because the sexual body and the sexual brain develop along different trajectories in utero. The male brain is created when testosterone is converted to estrogen and the male body is created when testosterone is converted to DHT. All fetal bodies are initially female and if there is no interference, the female body will continue to develop. The female brain and mind, however, may be masculinized if the fetus is exposed to too much estrogen at crucial times in the second trimester.”
Anyhow, you can get a flavor from that paragraph how criminally undereducated these professional bodies are that are caught up in promoting pharmaceutical and surgical gender “transition” in children.
