This is absolutely the reason why so many girls are now identifying as boys, or non-binary. This is only anecdotal but I have noticed the common factor in these kids is a personality that is extremely sensitive to criticism. It also explains what I and so many other parents have observed - an extreme decline in overall mental health and confidence that occurs at the same time a teenager adopts a transgender identity. These kids have been made to feel a deep sense of shame about their very existence, leading them to feel they have to change who they are and how they are perceived by others
