Oh, that started at least as far back as the 70s, when it was "You're special! Just because you're you!" bullshit they used to show in between cartoons and Schoolhouse Rock. I find it related to "You're special because of your species membership" mentality.
It's individualism taken to it's unhealthy logical extreme. It's not really a lie, but it's not the whole truth either, which is what makes it such an insidious mindset. You ARE unique and special in your own way, but everyone else is too, so don't go thinking that you're above others because of it.
Really, the modern left seems to be taking the absolute worst aspects of both individualism and collectivism and mashing them together into an unholy, contradictory mess of an ideology.
That's why the whole tranny thing looks like it's pushed by an accellerationist out to mock the very idea of individualism. "See? This is what American Individualist thinking leads to!" while at the same time eradicating the childhood bullying that used to keep individualists more or less within societal bounds.
