It appears that mention of Gender dysphoria in children and young adults has gone from 1:60,000 to 1:1200 in the last ten years, The overwhelming demand is from biological females. It also seems there is no overall strategy for treatment and following the Cass report, the use of blockers and hormones is on hold.

The Guardian
I know better than to try to read an article from them, but I do get the gist of what they are saying.

Are the figures real?
Could the XX bias, if this is to be believed, be due to young boys being much more afraid to broadcast their feelings/emotions than girls of a similar age? As we all know, its not easy being m2f especially when society in general think its wrong, f2m never comes into the picture, i'm sure many butch lesbians could be diagnosed f2m whereas i don't think the reverse is true.
Of course all the figures really show is an improvement in diagnosis, go back 20 years and i doubt there were any u18 diagnosis recorded by GP's, as we say in archaeology circles, absence of evidence does not make it evidence of absence. And of course as soon as you start recording data you may actually influence the outcome, what GP surgery wouldn't want to tick all the boxes?

Considering
Considering the people who wrote the Cass report refuse to publish the info they based the report on, it's been widely condemned by medical agencies around the world (France, the US and Australia, along with articles in some of the most respected medical journals in the world) and the Guardian is a transphobic rag whose own international journalists have lobbied against their dinner-party dwelling British counterparts I'm not gonna pay too much attention to anything they say.
"the information they based the report on"
Of course they refuse to publish it. They could hardly say " well, everyone at my Bridge Club thinks it's a disgrace, and the Daily Mail say it is too"
The problem is that nobody likes us any more. The TERFs hate us, and the Right Wing think we are lefty weirdos. Still, I am me, and you know what to quote Morgan Freeman in the finest of all movies "go ahead sonny and write your report. Because you know what, I really don't give a sh*t"
"Lately it occurs to me..
what a long strange trip its been."
