Nearly one in every 15 pupils at a leading secondary school identify as trans or non-binary | Daily Mail

To be fair, it's also just kids being kids. My neice has said she's a lot of things in the last few years, because she's going through her formative years and we all did and said stupid stuff during those years. Her friends are all the same.

Whatever she wants to be, we'll support her fully but she normally makes a proclamation and then forgets about it a week later.

Kids say stupid shit. Some kids do go on to be non-binary, trans, gay, etc., But we all looked for answers to why our bodies were weird and uncomfortable at that age, and "maybe I'm X not Z" is one of the potential answers they're going to explore. It doesn't mean 7% will be trans, it really means that 7% at some point considered whether they wanted to be trans and did what kids do: blurted stuff out before they had fully considered everything.
