re: If you went to school in the 70s/80s/90s How many kids did you know with gender dysphoria?

Late 70s and early 80s - one closeted gay in high school and zero trans ever. Parking lot was also full of pickups with rifles/shotguns on a rack, and zero school shootings.

Zero for me… also no openly gay either. Had one from my class of 240 show up yrs later.

80s & 90s… zero
Not even gay kids, a couple were suspected, but never confirmed.
Also, had never even heard of autism until the mid/late 00s

If this is the case, then I know for a fact that no administration would do anything meaningful, especially if that exogenous substance was related to some industrial byproduct.

It's also the fact that we have a larger population, understand genetics at a level that we couldn't in earlier generations, and can categorize different patterns of illness. I'm also skeptical that you know anyone with gender dysphoria, as it is still a relatively rare diagnosis.

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Late seventies, early eighties. Montrose area of Houston. Friday and Saturday nights.

Men dressed up as women to go watch that movie.

Those were the only freaks I ever saw in public.
