There is a condition called Body Identity Integrity Disorder in which people convince themselves that one or more of their limbs are cumbersome and unwieldy and seek to have healthy arms or legs amputated. People have even lain a leg across a railroad track (they bled to death in seconds). Some of them manage to find surgeons who will take their money and amputate (sound familiar?). In fact the two disorders are both called dysphorias and are regarded as related.
I don't see a lot of BIID activists screaming about the tyranny of fourlimbnormativity. But the "trans" shit is not far from that.
A quarter century ago there were three hospitals in the entire USA that would perform gender reassignment surgery and qualification was extremely strict: two years living as the other gender, exhaustive psychiatric screening. The great majority was rejected.
Now there are over sixty "gender clinics" and qualification is all but wide open. "I think I might be trans." Get on the table, count down from ten. Activists have manipulated every initially sober medical debate with screams of bigotry (always expressed in some idiotic words that didn't exist a few months ago) and demands that pharmaceutical and surgical intervention begin at ever younger ages.
Steve has written enough about the activists and it is amazing he hasn't gotten that email from Roger (he/him); I got it for saying that a transwoman is biologically male, which is about as controversial as saying the earth orbits the sun. Most of the articles written by "trans" are roiling with rage, these are clearly unbalanced people and by any metric, the gerat majority of those claiming "trans" are solely in it for attention.
