I'm generally speaking also extremely skeptical of "conspiracy" type thinking... I don’t think there's any dark cabal of monsters pulling levers to "trans kids" for profit... the world is far too complex for that to be the case.
I think, unfortunately - we have an awful trend that's resulted from well-meaning ppl trying to do the right thing for others... but just not thinking it thru fully or w complexity
Which is also true of the GCs... they are only looking for info that confirms their pre-existing bias, and ignore everything else~
I'm a 46yo transguy in Sydney, I transitioned in 2001, at 26yo
I came from a lesbian community prior to transition...
I'm the youngest of three kids, I was (similarly to you) always WAY past "tomboy" my mother in fact, assumed I had an intersexed condition- tho i didn't find that out until a few yrs ago.
(i don't have DSD to my knowledge- but it made sense to her that might be the case- it's how she made sense of it)
I was largely left alone in childhood, encouraged in my interests and hobbies- ppl noticed & recognized I was quite different, but at the same time- I was liked & accepted so it wasn't a huge deal.
(my stepmother had trouble coping w a masculine little girl that didn't fit her perceptions- but I didn't see her that much & my mother's complete acceptance offered that mostly... I never took things on internally in that way)
