I can only imagine it has to be so confusing for young people today to try and parse out their sexuality and 'gender identity', when they're taught that it's totally unmoored from any physical reality or objective criteria.

I remember going in chat rooms back in the day identifying as 'bi-curious' and stuff. I had no real-life experience one way or the other and no idea how to sort it all out. It all felt very vital to figure out back then. Looking back now, it was not important at all.

I don't know how teenagers are supposed to know of they're straight or gay or what, if even 'male' and 'female' don't mean anything.
