There's an awful lot of LARPing happening on social media that's behind this surge, I think. Guys slapping on some lipstick and a wig, taking a selfie for their Twitter account and claiming to be "trans" but never doing any more than that. Going out and actually living as a woman is not the point - the point is for unwashed losers to suddenly be "popular" and put themselves beyond criticism.
It puts them beyond criticism while at the same time giving them a free pass to criticize and attack other people - especially women. It certainly doesn't help that there's a significant number of "feminists" who clap like trained seals for these guys.
