Wake me when it is possible to have a conversation that does not involve race.

What’s changed and what I don’t recognize is a sense of being neighbors — fellow citizens who share a sense of community together, as a country and in ways that used to be more closely knit. I don’t recognize the competitiveness, the greed, the blatant selfishness. Those things have always been with us too — but alongside many many messages that prompted and supported a sense of connectedness and shared community.
I think part of the lack of community is due to people moving frequently, especially in the close-in 'hoods of DC. If you move further out, then there is a better sense of community because people live in their homes a lot longer, whether they rent or own.

Boomers and now you. All of this has always been around.

I also think the pollution--hormones in the water supply and plastics that disrupt endocrines are part of the reason for the statistically improbable number of gender fluid teens and reduced fertility and testosterone levels and increase in cancers that used to effect the older population in young adults. The fish in the Potomac are now intersex.
Intersex conditions in male smallmouth bass are widespread in the Potomac River basin: 50 to 75 percent of male smallmouth bass collected in the South Branch Potomac River exhibited signs of feminization, as did 100 percent of those collected at sites in the Shenandoah.
I also believe that environmental xenohormones are affecting our health in undetermined ways - possibly even gender development.

This is such a right wing trope. Very stupid. Intersex, gender fluid issues have been around since recorded history. There are many cultures in South Asia where this is just a normal part of life.
Really? Hadn’t heard this anywhere else. Definitely not a RWNJ.
I do think there are environmental factors that affect our development/gene expression.
Really? Then how do you explain diversity in gender and sexuality for centuries?
Variation in naturally-occurring hormones in embryo's environment.
Could be multiple triggers for gene expression.
Which means it happens in the same way we have all types of biological diversity, and not something odd we are doing to cause an anomaly.
It could be both.
Normal diversity, amplified by new environmental factors.
With the same outcomes as centuries ago, is that right? Where were the plastics and hormones in the 1500s?
No. Higher % today.
Some naturally-occurring variation is constant.
Additional variation now driven by new environmental factors.
What makes you think gender diversity is higher occurring today? How would you even mine data from several centuries. Lol...stop with your ridiculous religious agenda.

Early 50s and I feel sad for all the kids I went to high school with who must have had to hide their identities as gay people.

There's been intersex species, human included, documented, since the dawn of time.
