Gender dysphoria isn't in decline, they've just gone back into hiding since society is regressing back to 1955 levels of racism and bigotry.
All you did was chase them into the closet, and they'll be back.

I think gender is stupid, I have just always hated gender norms, but I’m also not crazy about labels. There was a moment, probably prior to 2023 where I experimented with the term non-binary because that’s where the culture was. And now, I would probably just not answer that question in the surveys. But I didn’t change, I still think gender is stupid, and I’m either cishet male or non-binary pansexual depending on how deep into the conversation we get.
This whole thing is overblown in the first place. It’s weird for a magazine called skeptic to show an assertive preference for binary definitions of gender and sexuality.
I think everyone should question their gender. The idea that you should try and conform to some definition of what society thinks you should be based on your genitals is crazy. How your formulate your personality should be way more dynamic than that.

which talks about the harm that labels do to people with variant sexual and identity and makes the case that "transgender-cisgender" is itself a binary that divides and obscures the truth. Similarly, "non-binary" creates a binary. 20 years ago you have have an alternative gender expression and maybe have some challenges but today it may be harder rather than easier because people are polarized about it.
