Yes, it is likely that human sexuality is simply more complicated or nuanced than a word being attached to ones identity, used to mark and categorize you, and as the doors to creative or personal exploration open up people will move away from a rigid system of sexuality that may just not be for them.
Agree, this site started to attract more and more people with “agendas”. I am trying to be more narrow about topics that I allow myself to get involved in.
Is it really surprising though? I mean look at the current state of the world. Was any of this ***t a problem in 2012-2013?
By that logic starving mother's in Africa who try to sell their children for a meal/because they know their child will starve to death should all be LGBTQ right?
probably true? you read 75% of young adults having left a job for mental health issues as 75% of adults have mental illness (implicity summoning schizophrenia and depression), and not for example 75% having left a job because it was boring, stressful or toxic? Which is a very valid reason because entry level jobs are often any one of those. I swear to god, these forums are full of hysterics, you all want to feel bad.Probably true.
Half Of Millennials And 75% Of Gen Zers May Be Mentally Ill
The bad news for the chronologically young just keep accumulating. About a week ago I posted another study demonstrating that, if current trends continue, Millenials will die earlier than their Gen X counterparts due to poor(er) health. That study was aggregate and included all sorts of reasons...raypeatforum.com

Well, why wouldn’t certain individuals, particularly young ones, be depressed if all they have to look forward to is their perceived notion that their future will always involve mask wearing, limited and risky engagement with the opposite sex, a routine of constant vaccinations for everything, and people not understanding what sex they were born as?That's right - those 75% met the diagnostic criteria of a clinical mental disorder. That is not the same as having a boring and/or low-paying job. If you go to the doctor and get diagnosed with say clinical depression, he/she won't tell you "well, maybe it's just a stressful period at work, no worries, it will go away". Nope, once diagnosed as clinically depressed the medical profession considers you mentally ill until a doctor pronounces you as being in remission. I may not agree with their diagnostic methods or treatments, but the study was about 75% of GenZ and 50% of Millenials being diagnozable as mentally ill, so that's what the post is about. If you disagree with the study's methods/conclusions, that's your right, but this has nothing to do with how I "read" the study. Have you seen the prescription rate for antidepressant drugs? Highest they have ever been and doubling every 10 years or so. Does that sound like "misreading" the study on GenZ/Millenial mental health?

It's not a diagnosis of mental illness, it's a survey which asks questions such as “In the past year, have you ever felt sad, numb, or lost interest or pleasure in most activities for at least two weeks?”, intending to replace an actual diagnosis of mental health (and this is by a company/organization that sells itself as solutions for mental health i.e they want to appear needed). You lost interest in most activities for two weeks? Wow, you are mentally ill! Regarding antidepressants it's blatantly being pushed by psychiatrists as something necessary, but it's not necessary.That's right - those 75% met the diagnostic criteria of a clinical mental disorder.

I agree with you and I understand why you wrote what you wrote. My comment was just a general observation as to *why they are depressed…and in many cases, it’s very understandable. I can also understand why many don’t want to bring children into the world given the state of society.
The current state of the world? When have things actually been okay? I'm not sure about you but when I study history all I can say is "wow, mankind is kind of just awful". There have always been an assortment of problems, new or longstanding.
Not only is that an entirely different topic, it is one that is more complicated than surface "news" displays. Some people would lead a happier and more productive life if they were open to explore their gender or at least had the capacity to find out who they are.. it is something that takes time and care, but more importantly to respect what a child coming into early adulthood has to say about themselves.
Ray Peat says that elevated estrogen makes one prone to novelty seeking in sexuality, inability to be satisfied by hetero Normal romance, and desire for unorthodox sexual stimulation.
Im prettt convinced the endocrine disruptors aside from the influence of society plays a huge role in this,The study is actually about the US, but other studies show the numbers for other "developed" countries are at least as high. Here is a study that compared the US to other countries.
Make of that what you will, but since most of the LGBTQ won't have/raise children, these numbers are probably thrilling for the depopulation crowd at Davos. The discussions going on in the thread on gender conflicts below touched upon some related issues such as endocrine disruptors, stress, etc.
It's funny how "male issues" are always self-driven, i.e., men are always made out as losers in the world, whereas females never have to "woman up"
And it's equally ironic how there are still notable members in this community -- specifically females -- who push this worldview that men must "level up" more, while they themselves do nothing or bear any real cross or burden in their lives the way us men do. Us men have to hold the world on our...
Oh, and once again the young are leading the pack - about 1 in 5 (20%) GenZ/Millennials identify as LGBTQ. So, it looks like the stereotype about the "closet gay Boomer" is not backed up by the evidence, Btw, the rates in younger people may be even higher than the study reports because the youngest subjects of the study also had the highest rates of refusing to provide info on their sexual orientation.
"...The number of adult Americans who identify as something other than heterosexual has risen to a record 7.1%, a new Gallup phone survey revealed on Thursday. The metric has more than doubled since 2012, the first year the company started tracking such data. Then, 3.5% of respondents who volunteered their sexual orientation and/or gender identity said they were part of the LGBTQ community. The increase reflects a wider relevance of such identities among younger generations, the polling agency said. Among GenZs, or people born between 1997 and 2003, 20.8% of people identified as LGBTQ. For comparison, only 2.6% of Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, responded that way. Millennials (born 1981-1996, in Gallup’s terms) were the second-largest age group in terms of LGBTQ representation, but were also among the least likely to name their identity. Some 7.1% declined to answer that question, on par with people born before 1949. Among GenZs, only 3.5% didn’t want to divulge this information. Most of the growth in LGBTQ identification was among GenZ and Millenials, with the percentage of such people among older generations remaining stable over the years. For GenZ, it doubled since 2017, when the metric stood at 10.5%. Over the years, a greater portion of the generation reached adulthood and became eligible for Gallup’s poll, it noted."

Exactly.
Gawddamn GD ? you've been at this for so many years that you got that evidence on speed dial haha, i dont think anyone can deny what your saying i see it all around me, the younger generations are ****88,That's right - those 75% met the diagnostic criteria of a clinical mental disorder.

I think its because alot of us see it as theres no future for us, we'll always be slaving our life away for a meaningless job not ever being able to afford a house, even established jobs you can go to school for, almost nobody in those professions are actually happy or healthy generally, doctors are a good example, alot of trades people seem to just work all the time and then drink and smoke and go to the bar every weekend, seems like theyre lacking something in life.
