I am simply suggesting that sexism and homophobia probably encourage some people to identify as trans.

How does that drive an *increase* in people identifying as trans? Because that's what we're trying to explain here. So are we saying that sexism and homophobia have increased recently, or are we saying that there's been some fundamental change in how they operate, or what?

OP.

I do think that sexism has increased in recent years, in ways that particularly affect children and adolescents. A few decades ago, children's toys were relatively unisex; now there's a glaring divide between "boy's toys" and "girl's toys," and girls get stuck with a frilly shitload of pretty pink princess crap.

And then, when girls hit puberty, they are doing so in a world in which extreme pornography is just a click away at all times. I'm not dogmatically, absolutely anti-porn, but I do think that it conditions the behavior and expectations of young people—especially boys—in a way that isn't particularly healthy. And girls growing up in the era of ubiquitous internet porn are exposed to a lot of damaging notions about what it means to be a woman.

So, just to be clear here, your argument is that 2017 is more sexist than, for instance, 1967.
