There also appears to be a "natural" tendency to define/describe as bisexual. I feel my son was several years behind peers in puberty and developmental maturity (late diagnosed ADHD). When others were engaging with girls, he was still engrossed in lego and anime. He is now desisted from the trans concepts however may be having relations with male friends. No girls on the horizon yet and states not to be gay. I feel that this is all todays GenZ's versions of previous generational teenage trials, with unfortunate ability to access life changing drugs with a 30 minute telephone appointment
Yes. This is such a fraught area. Our child (recent 18-yr-old) has been so isolated (many reasons incl my fault). Never had the usual awkward IN PERSON attempts at crushes, safe first kisses, waiting for phonecall or reactions at safe school, friends to bounce off ideas, feelings. Games, dances, school plays/concerts. Seems so last century and simple. Our kid’s childhood fairly idyllic til age 14 or so. Am so sad, regretful, etc. And add in AGP as s sexual orientation? Sorry for downer view; just not feeling sure of lifelines anymore. And the porn component is devastating.
We sound similar. Our son recently turned 18. Seemed to start at around the same time. But Covid and online school seemed to solidify it. He told us of his identity feelings a year and a half ago. At that time he said he had been thinking about it for about 9 months. He has friends at school, but none are close. He doesn’t interact with them outside of school and he hasn’t told anyone at school about his identity. Just online community and immediate family. I keep hoping and praying that the momentum of this ideology will fade. I keep thinking it will come soon. So many young people have been horrifically affected and many more are on that path. You are not alone

So sorry we are in this club we never wished to join. Also hope & pray our young people, all over the world, will be safe, healthy, & happy.
