Nah, anxious and depressed people always existed. We just didn't care

This is what I think too. It’s like when someone says that there are more gay or trans people now. There aren’t more. They always existed. They were just massively oppressed or killed. Now they can barely put their heads above water, and everyone is like where did they all come from?

Yes and no in my opinion. I think to a degree it’s become a trend. People will become gay or trans at 13 and then not feel that way when they become adults. It’s also become a safe space for people who have been treated unfairly so people are willing to change their lives to find some sense of comfort. Obviously this doesn’t apply to all or even majority of LGBT+ but there are definitely more than there used to be.
