I simply MUST object to a very tiny but very wrong statement in the cited article: Calling the 1928-1945 generation "SILENT" - is that the official designation for: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Carol King, Paul Simon, Steven Spielberg, Stephen Jay Gould, and so many others who absolutely DEFINED modern cultural life?!?!! Sorry but I'm an old geezer myself and couldn't let that pass.
Greatest, Silent, Boomer, GenX, Millennial, GenZ - they are such weak attempts to pigeonhole common experiences that shaped groups born together. I’m technically GenX, meant to express “tenth generation” but instead sounding generic, and living in the immense shadow of the Boomers, thus feeling pretty silent and overlooked. 🤷♀️
Autistic people are some of the most vulnerable in society who are prone to bullying and social rejection. What is therefore better than being elevated into someone special with the added bonus of special rights? Apart from genetic explanations, toxic exposure and alexithymia (inability to identify emotions), an amazing ability to reframe perception in terms of a specific feature (such as liking and being obsessed with certain colours or clothing for example) could be another interesting factor in explaining the link between autism and transgenderism.
Sadly this is likely true in many cases. I think that presumably low child reproduction rates for LGBTQ would be a big factor in accepting more and more marginalised groups instead. One would have thought that parents wouldn't be exposing toddlers to drag, that schools would work with the parents on issues with their children and that doctors would say no way to dismembering a developing child.
Parents often are swayed easily, these days. Actually, I remember those commercials as a teen growing up that told me, "You've come a long, long way, baby, you've come a long, long way." for Virginia Slims. Or, "I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan, cause I'm a woman, W-O-M-A-N." I don't remember what that was for, but from those influences, I learned I definitely needed to go get a career. Now, still ads.
Autism families abhore the term "neurodiversity" because it always negates the seriousness of autism as a biomedical and neurological disorder and tends to say it's ok if you are different, thereby ignoring the vaccine autism link.
More virtue signaling🙄....This may not be a bad thing.
Eventually more and more groups will feel the need to be included in the "pride" flag. As is the case when all the colors are combined the resulting flag will be one color.BLACK! And as it happens moving to a one color flag would better represent unity don't you think?
I'm a Tweener born on Christmas Day 1943. Sexual Activity should be kept Private and people should not leave People's Private Activity should be left alone.
How many transgender Amish Gen Z are there as a percent of an unvaccinated and healthy population?
Is this a discovery? Or an insult to injury? Shout it from rooftops, spray can tag it on big city walls.
BIG pHARMA WANTS YOU! (as the next unavoidably unsafe victim)

I think they are being taken advantage of and "groomed." Parents must help their children reach full maturity before making sex change decisions.

Kinda eye opening is that this Pew Research Graph illustrates that the age group 74-91 as SILENT?
Never heard of this category before today. What a dumb thing to classify the wisest ones as!
How does one go from Boomer into a Dumpster? Just ask the Pew Researcher committee.
I just commented the same thing without having read your comment. Greetings, my friend. :)

Just me free associating.
