I'm not surprised to hear that some kids still say this despite many people having woken up to another way of thinking about masculinity, femininity and identity. However, many other people are still asleep on that one and their kids pick it up.
DP. You're really overthinking this. Kids aren't thinking all of that out, it's just meme talk for not cool.
It's fine to tell kids to knock it off but don't misunderstand what they're saying and make it into a grand slur. It's not that exciting.
