[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know a lot of Gen Z-ers? I’d say 30% is a conservative estimate (in the DMV); so 30% is probably accurate when you’re measuring sexual identity on a national scale. [/quote]

they are 13-28! Most 13 yr olds don't know. And yes, the last time I was "with" a person of my same gender, I was 28. Ask people when they are 30.[/quote]
But a lot of middle school kids are trying to figure out who they are and are trying out different identities (or at least different labels for themselves). Kids who feel “other” may call themselves queer for a while and then later decide they’re not queer. My 17 year old knew a number of kids who changed their pronouns and preferred names in middle school, but now that they’re in high school, most of them have reverted back to the way they identified before middle school. It’s possible that it’s the youngest members of Gen Z who are most likely to identify as queer because they’re the ones still trying to figure themselves out and they’re not ready to rule out any potential sexual partners since they’re not ready to have sex with anyone yet.[/quote]
