+#### Interlude: So what?
+
+It's possible for someone to broadly _agree_ with much of the theory above as to the _etiology_ of a child's self-reports, while still endorsing social transition. "Sure," says the adherent of this view, "I agree that if [new name] had been raised in the culture of ten years earlier, she would still be [deadname]. But that's social progress—it's _better_ that children be able to choose their gender for reasons _less extreme_ than classical EOGD—or any reason at all, even a whim. And _of course_ that [freedom will result in more trans kids than in the old culture.](/2017/Dec/lesser-known-demand-curves/) Why are you being so cisnormative?"
