interestingly, nobody would think to put a stomach-restrictor into a youth suffering from bulimia & thinking herself too fat. There the "point of medical interference" is the mind, not the body.
Not so with people "thinking themselves being in the wrong body".
I do not see the big difference...both "disturbances" of the mind...

Well, son, you are wrong. Get out more.

That right there is one reason the world (or large regions thereof) is overpopulated --- four generations on the planet at the same time. Just because you can reproduce at 15 doesn't mean you should.
my grandmother had two kids, my mom and my uncle had 2 kids, my mom had one kid. subsequently I had one daughter. uncles kids have not reproduced and it doesn't seem likely they will. so my grandmother is responsible for 6 people coming into this world. and so far maybe my daughter will be the only one potentially having kids our family tree will live or die with my daughter.... GM97, mom 70, me 50, daughter 22 so not one having kids at 15...

its not the fact that there are 4 generations above ground at one time. It's when one of these generations squirts out kids like a rabbit that causes over population.

In the US, the average children per family:
2021-1.93
1960-2.33

I’m not sure where the rabbit comes into play. I’m from a family of 7 siblings. We reproduced 7 among us.

I’m sure some reproduce like rabbits, but appear to be offset by those who don’t.

Over population is not a long term problem. As economies develop, folks tend to have fewer kids. Korea, Japan, parts of Europe, China are all losing population. The human race peaks at 11B and then falls - faster than you might think. By 2100 there will be fewer people in China than in the USA. People being born today will experience severe depopulation during their lifetimes. Societies/regimes that are miserable to live under will find that people vote with their feet or their genitals. They will need to change and adapt to make people want to have babies to preserve their "culture" - particularly places that don't encourage (or can't attract) immigrants. At some point folks will be standing at the border walls handing out condo deeds to anyone willing to cross over.

you do know though, that this is not driving population growth, right? Only the fertility rate does (children per woman).
