I wonder if this is something unique to millennials. I firmly believe schools shouldn’t have to disclose anything regarding a student’s sexuality or gender identity to the parents, because I remember how intolerant and downright brutal parents were to their LGBT kids when I was in high school. I prefer to let the school and teachers keep things from parents, because I don’t trust conservative parents to not abuse their children.
Ayup, before millenials the queer kids would just stay in the closet for self preservation but we were right on the border where kids wanted to express themselves but occasionally ate a lot of pain for it. I hope it was just a millennial thing (for sexual orientation at least) because it fucking sucked… and I hope the same thing happening to trans kids is mostly just a Gen Z and Alpha thing because that also fucking sucks.
The parents in this case are Gen X aren’t they? That makes sense I guess since it’s a 50/50 split generation on liberal and conservative. I’d be extremely surprised to see the children of millennials having this problem though. Millennials have been an unusual generation because they haven’t been becoming more conservative
It’s pretty common for families to skip a generation especially in developed countries - if you’re having kids in your thirties it’s extremely unlikely you’ll be in adjacent generations since those are usually defined as 15 years long. So most millenials had Boomer parents while Gen Z mostly have Gen X parents. Bear in mind that gender role fuzzing mostly entered pop culture with Gen X.
