It's extra hard because (especially in this generation it all loops back into IDENTITY) they are personally invested in their worldview being true. If I found out tomorrow that being bisexual was caused by eating bananas as a baby and that I wasn't really born that way, my brain would probably explode. So you can't just provide these people with facts and step back and let them process. They will reject the facts because they need to protect their worldview at all costs. (I have no idea what the solution is beyond intense therapy and providing them a safe space where their sense of identity isn't threatened.)

Which generation? Boomers, Gen X/Xennial, Millennial, Gen Z, or whatever is after Gen Z?
