[...] (l) The number of children and adolescents between 6 and 17 years of age, inclusive, that believe that they were born in the wrong body have increased markedly [...] correlat[ing] with the ever increasing and expanding instruction about gender identity and transgenderism in schools, both through sex educational curriculum and other instruction.
