It could be that their parents grew up in a society moving towards more tolerance, and that this has had an effect of the upbringing.Jack Molayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629363646482611722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-45923616877420782362015-03-28T05:15:45.119-07:002015-03-28T05:15:45.119-07:00To get a good idea of what future attitudes and co...To get a good idea of what future attitudes and conventions will be, your best bet is to look at the attitudes of the young people, about high school age. Back when I was still a high school teacher I could plainly see this. A lot more guys with long hair than when I was growing up, and (I think it was a fad back then) a couple of them would wear bangles in it. Even though, out of the whole school there was just one guy that wore a feminised "goth" style of clothing with a skirt and black pantyhose. <br />Since crossdreaming is a lot harder for me to spot in girls, I'd most easily notice the guys. The really important thing was that the ATTITUDE of the guys was a lot more cooperative, social, egalitarian, and generally feminine as opposed to when I went to high school. When I went to high school, there would be fights on an almost regular basis, but when I was teaching high school I never saw a single one! <br />I think this definitely gives one hope for humanity.RichGuy51noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-13379855649096385082015-02-24T03:10:27.924-08:002015-02-24T03:10:27.924-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326150402905232070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-5438420972787649132015-02-10T07:59:02.054-08:002015-02-10T07:59:02.054-08:00Yes, this makes sense to me too.

They are more knowledgeable. So even if there is a lot of indirect gender stereotyping (especially when it comes to toys), they are much better at tackling gender variance when it appears. And the attitudes of the millennials seem to reflect this. <br /><br />The whole idea of early onset and late onset transgender people as two separate classes is also crumbling because of this. Gynephilic trans women can more easily come out of the closet as teenagers these days.Jack Molayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629363646482611722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-54495734176171132792015-02-09T03:40:42.706-08:002015-02-09T03:40:42.706-08:00Jack with the freedom of today comes the more open...Jack with the freedom of today comes the more open expression of how people feel inside. I am pretty sure that these young people are reflecting the true variance that is out there which had to be all but completely repressed when I was their age. They feel less constrained by social expectation than people of my generation and are not afraid to be themselves which can only be a good thing.<br /><br />Yes we have a biological binary but our minds are much more expansive and less constrained by the fact that we were born with a particular set of genitalia. Your surveys reflect the attitude that I see in my own 17 year old daughter who has a more expansive view of gender expression than I did at the same age.joanna Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722222181799879120noreply@blogger.com
