They've turned honest sexual orientation into a fad. Weren't these kids all "otherkin" and "vampires" not long ago?

Every internet-addicted teen LARPing as genderspecial needs to be met with "really? How boring."

Some of them still are. I've also seen a ton of these TQ+ disclose their (sometimes self-diagnosed) mental illnesses in their social media bios.

Abigail Shrier's non-fiction book IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE, about the rise of girls suddenly believing that they are transgender, talks about how a lot of the non-gay kids being sucked into the transgender fad have mental illnesses (is that what it's called now?) or conditions like autism and ADHD.

Then IIRC there was a study done of LGBTQ + US university students that also found the same.

This needs a longitudinal study to see if those numbers remain fairly static as younger generations age into older generations. That should in theory sort out some of what is actual sexual orientation versus identity.
