    Fuck! Only 83% of people in GenZ are cis and straight. With these numbers we're only a few years away from all straight people being imprisoned in LGBT+ reeducation camps.

    this is the future they want

        Its kinda weird because I always think of 2nd wave feminism is more associated with the "Men label feminine things as weak, so dismiss all feminine-associated traits". Like short, barely styled hair, jeans, eschewing any makeup, (literally) burning bras, lumberjack shirts, no piercings, "I'm not like other domestic girls that are enslaved by their husbands"-attitude yet also not trying to be "one of the guys". While I wouldn't associate Hillary Clinton with this movement, she was DEFINITELY inspired by it. Then 3rd wave feminism came around and re-appropriated feminine things, and embraced more feminine styles of dress and makeup as liberating, saying "I don't need to act like men to be equal to men". RiotGrrrl was some of the more radical/punk sides of it, and was of enormous influence.

        Although We've gotta be in 4th wave right now, right? I'd see trends within it as rejecting gender altogether, including a "men can be feminine too" streak which I don't think has really been around before. I'm curious, what else would people associate 4th wave feminism with?

        I've also gotta say, the more trans than lesbian thing kinda intrigued me as well. 2nd wave feminism did have its gross "Political Lesbianism" aspects, which probably inflated those numbers which today would I imagine mostly be "bi" identifying. I do sometimes think the trans community can be a liiiitttle bit too quick sometimes to jump in assuming everyone is an egg, esp if they are talking about "thinking about gender for the first time" and "had this one doll I used to enjoy playing with as a kid" or "always really enjoyed the color pink" or "would play dress up with my moms clothes (literally everyone does this as a kid)". I'm genderqueer, and I've seriously had people condescendingly tell me "Oh, this is just a little phase you're going through, you'll be able to admit you're actually a transgirl soon enough", (Shit I unfortunately also heard [and still hear sometimes] from the gay community about being bi). I obviously don't have the first-hand experience of a cis girl to know if they'res "pressure" on cis-lesbians (I'm gonna guess primarily butch-leaning ones?) to like "come out as trans instead" (whatever the fuck that'd even mean, lol) but I certainly don't think I've ever seen anything of that matter overtly.

    Wow gee maybe it's because idk they're more accepted in society, just a wild guess. The fact that it is especially being bi which has become much more common should really make them thonk.

    Once we stopped arresting people for being gay, more people came out.

    It's gotta be the chemtrails!

    These numbers are actually still a little low, I'd think. I'd reckon around 10 percent of people are non gender conforming and 25 percent or more significantly non straight.

    As members of the gay agenda we must redouble our efforts.

        I mean, I reckon 25%+ of people I know are Alphabet, but my thesis is that most bi and even a good chunk of gay people are still closeted outside very progressive regions, even for Gen Z.

        And Trans/non-binary people are like 90% closeted in my experience. I must know a half dozen trans people who are never coming out bar glorious revolution, because of the massive risks and personal costs involved. They won't put it on a survey, and they'll only mention it in extremely safe spaces.

        Only the most dysphoric or revolutionary members of the trans community are openly non-cis, there are still great masses of LGBQ People still in the closet, and A+ people are often still unaware of what they even are.

        We need to be gayer and do Carmen Sandiego grade crimes.

          As a bi dude I can tell you absolutely that 25-35 year old men are much less straight than they usually let on. This isn't even like a brag, I'm actually mostly referring to talking with friends one-on-one and we wind up on the topic, and they confide in me, "You know, if (insert-hot-male-celebrity) was at a bar and started hitting on me, I would totally reciprocate and try to go for it", despite them portraying themselves as 100% straight and never mentioning anything like that while among other friends.

            Like I live in an extremely socially conservative area where I've only met one openly gay person in my age group, and a few more LGBTQ+ people that are closeted. Would unironically love to live in an area where acceptance is more common. Maybe I'd actually be out then.

      All the homies having good vibes because they can be themselves and are all in healthy, fulfilling relationships.

    I think the lower numbers stem from people not wanting to self identify as gay in the 90s and before. Lest you get the shit kicked out of you for no good reason.

    How fucking dumb do you have to be to not realise that these LGBT people were always there, they just hid their true identities before because it wasn't as accepted.
