I think a lot of the kids who would of had eating disorders 20 years ago are the ones now claiming to be transgendered.

No, you’re a freak.
Eating disorders and cutting are still out there, but they’re not the attention-getters. Teenage life, especially on the Internet, is like a negative feedback loop/echo chamber in which the one with the biggest misery index is overwhelmed with attention, thus driving an arms race in destructive behaviors.
