Supreme Court of the United States Recent Rulings

But 36% seems way too high to me. My understanding was that the surgery numbers for minors were lower and I'd hope they're lower at other medical centers, will look into it more later.

36% of 177 over three years. That seems rare to me.
How many trans/non-binary kids we talking about? 100k, 500k, 1mm, more or less?

Oh I see, good point. It's 36% of total surgeries, not of total treatments of minors.

Like 2.43 billion, some 84.6% of today's kids are trans/non-binary. Just make sure to ask them twice per day as soon as they start talking, otherwise we'll risk another couple of billion innocent kid's souls to be trapped in the opposite gender body.

You're one lucky person to witness humanity's giant leap in this area, it's a huge step towards medically freeing our kids from the human body to become the primate of choice they desire, and with the advances of medical sophistication, to be the mammal of choice they always wished for. All species are created equal, and we won't let the religious fanatics and cult adherers to force upon us some old fashioned ideas of human superiority over other species.

In terms of surgery numbers, there are no wide-spread statistics. However, this is the stats of one hospital only.
In terms of official prevalence in the wide-scale population, the DSM-5 says: For natal adult males, prevalence ranges from 0.005% to 0.014%, and for natal females,
from 0.002% to 0.003%.  Since not all adults seeking hormone treatment and surgical reassignment attend specialty clinics, these rates are likely modest underestimates.
In children, sex ratios of
natal boys to girls range from 2:1 to 4.5:1. In adolescents, the sex ratio is close to parity; in adults, the sex ratio favors natal males, with ratios ranging from 1:1 to 6.1:1. In two countries, the sex ratio appears to favor natal females (Japan: 2.2:1; Poland: 3.4:1)
So, according to the statistics, we should be talking about a practically non-existent minority.
There are 26.2 Million children in the US. If we take the high-line estimate, (0.014% of born males, 0.003% of females) we should have about 4,454 kids with gender dysphoria in the whole country.

From the latest DSM-5 TR (Revised Edition 2022):
Studies show increasing numbers of children and adolescents presenting to specialty
clinics, presentation at younger ages, more frequent early social transition, and a shift to a greater
number of individuals assigned female at birth in adolescents and young adults than individuals
assigned male at birth.
Has it all changed suddenly? Or is it more social contagion?

Please continue discussing it here if you wish as it no longer is about SCOTUS.
