Some really fascinating findings in this big new Gallup survey on Americans identifying as "LGBT." It should lead to lots of deeper investigation to understand what explains some of these astronomical changes, but for now, a few points to note:https://news.gallup.com/poll/329708/lgbt-identification-rises-latest-estimate.aspx …

Here's Katie's article exploring whether the disappearance of lesbian culture is due to the encouragement which masculine girls receive -- from the society, therapists, health care workers, etc. -- to identify as trans, not as lesbian women:https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/where-have-all-the-lesbians-gone-0a7 …

Clearly, the massive increase in Americans self-identifying as LGBT -- an increase due overwhelmingly to more "bi" and trans self-identifiers -- is partially a function of increased societal acceptance. But that's clearly not the only factor. And I doubt it's the primary one.

It's not really 'pointing something out' when the thing that you point out (a decrease in the lesbian population) is contradicted by the source you're using to point it out.

Hmm lesbians go from 0.8 to 1.4, while trans goes from 1.2 to 1.8 - that's a faster growth rate among the lesbian population than the trans population actually

That’s not the comparison he’s making. The comparison would be for Mill AND z compared to older people. X and Boomer both have the Trans at .2 while L is The trans increase is .4 and .7. L increases from X to Z by 2x, Trans is 9x

UK statistics among teenagers. One of the crazy things about this mania is that it enforces gender stereotypes. If a girl likes to do "boy" things the accepted opinion: she is trans.

"causing a decrease in the lesbian population" There's an increase in the lesbian population, both in absolute terms and as percentage of the overall population, according to your numbers.

I don’t get it either. Glenn is a smart guy, but these numbers don’t support his assertions.
