That rapid onset gender dysphoria thing is crap and an excuse for parents to bully their kids. It very definitely endangers trans children.

It's a backlash against the realization that many, if not most, trans people really do start OUT trans. Kids start to get a handle on gender identity at somewhere between 3 and 5 (social expectations of gender interplay with that). And gender is weird anyway.

Thank you for reminding everyone, cis and trans, that this rapid onset thing, well, is NOT a thing.
