What I mean is that over here trans get benefits from it, like affirmative action, attention, encouragement (they perceive these as benefits). There's tons of kids that do it just because they're lonely or peer pressure.

Peer pressure isn't really a big mental disorder, that's just kind of how kids have always been.

I would think in Iran, but certainly in Russia, the weirdos don't have that kind of attraction or foothold that pulls in kids that just have normal teen angst. They're not doing it to fit in or their friends are, they're full-on psychos.
