Let's step back from this and discuss the fundamentals of research. I am a research scientist. I know the difference between correlation vs. experimenatation designed to prove or disprove a given theory or thesis.
What you have here is the worst of correlation and sensationalism. Let me give an example: In the 60's it was noticed that people who drive with their lights on had fewer accidents. When some idiot then decided that everyone should drive with their lights on, it was quickly realized that the reason for lower accident rates of those who drove with their lights on unbid was because they were better drivers to begin with. That group ALEADY had a lower accident rate!
This situation of increasingly identifiable TV/TGs has not been investigated at all based upon epidemiological concepts, but that doesn't mean that anyone who has an axe to grind won't try to use it for their ends.
I would enjoy reading about a solid statistical study of the increasing number of TV/TGs (if it's true) and the reasons for it. Maybe the first study should be to determine if there really are more of us, or if the increase in communication has made it possible for us to finally know each other, and to have those who were not aware of their transgendered nature to find sites like this and have an epiphany.
Until there are careful statistical studies, these people who try to use correlation of unrelated assumptions should be completely ignored. Their need for supporting their egos is the real reason they propose any of this balogna!
