anytime you give people a new metaphorical hammer, they want to go around banging everything they can with it. then they get bored and forget about it.
pop psych is a great example. people love to go around diagnosing everyone with whatever new schema of diagnosis is popular and trendy. trans is very trendy right now and it’s become on point for kids to identify as trans or some other non binary sexual identity. whether or not it sticks in the future, not sure. there is a counter-movement as well towards reinforce trad gender binaries in the dating sphere for sure. i’ve noticed as i age that a lot more people start caring a lot more about trad gender role stuff than they did in my 20s.
