Having a transkid in rich, upper class, yuppie circles gives you and your family a lot of cache. I can guarantee you right now someone is coaching their kid to be trans, for the purpose of getting in good with rich people - who they can guilt and grift for money. It's honestly not that different from castratos, except as you mentioned they had a skill other than being what amounts to an ideological fetish item.Casterato were created for art. Their voices were revered and even if it was fucked up to cut the balls off of young boys it did at least ensure they had a job and elevated position within Vatican choirs for the rest of their lives. Given what survival was like during the period they lived in it was considered a pretty good trade off.
To bring it back to soon-to-be-her-deadnamed Jim, a lot of what is driving the trans trend is that its like a big ladder up the victim hierarchy. You go from being a filthy oppressive cisshit white male to being on par with black women in the victim hierarchy. Only trans of color can top you (heh) in victim points, and those are quite rare. So you have this whole ideology built around the idea of hierarchies being wrong, spun into a game for power - with it becoming rigged so white males like Jim can easily win.
It's all so ironic and tiresome.
