Apparently young girls are developing Tourette-type tics after watching TikTok videos of such.

Yeah, I've seen this in kids. I thought it was weird at first, I couldn't figure out what was going on.

They read all these things about self-diagnosis of this and that. Medicalizing themselves in various ways seems to be the modern equivalent of taking personality tests in teen magazines or doing a myers-briggs profile.

This is an odd one - gender identity hasn't really taken hold where I live, yet my son says multiple children at his high school have tics. Nobody had tics in my day.
