[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ones who aren’t serious/are attention-seeking grow out of it by 8th and you are just left with the ones who truly feel this way. At one point in 6th, I think a quarter of the girls were claiming to be lesbian, trans, bi or non binary. Many of them were faking.[/quote]

This is true.  It becomes less fashionable.

The ones that were doing it for attention have realized that none of their peers really care.

"You want to go by she/her?  Sure, whatever.  I'll call you that"

is a WAY different response than

"OMG,  EVERYONE STOP!  We are now calling Billy, Bella, and she now uses she and her.  Bella, you are so brave and we won't let those close-minded bigots stop you from living YOUR TRUTH.  We love you"

The lack of attention/oxygen naturally causes it to become less trendy[/quote]

+1 Excellent way to put it!

I am a teacher, and the "fad" (yes, yes, I know... it is the truth for a very, very, very, very small number of students) seems to be waning a bit.[/quote]
