To me this is super encouraging, because it means more people are a) aware of the options, b) understanding themselves, and c) feeling safe/comfortable expressing their identity. <3
All true.
Though…i would remind everyone that we lost a LOT of us in the 70s-80s-90s. To things like AIDs. So at least part of the difference in numbers is that the older members of our community didn’t all survive.
Great points, we should remember the huge numbers we lost to AIDS. My point was less a competition between generations and more about the absolute numbers of the millennial generation being so high.
