You’ve got to hand it to Gen Z!!

I know the whole transgender thing causes a lot of debate on Mumsnet. I’m not looking to stir that up here. But, regardless of where you stand, I think we all have to hand it to Gen Z for managing to freak out older generations so effectively.

Boomers spooked the Silent Generation with their love of rock n roll and the counterculture of the 60s.

Gen X framed the Boomers with acid house and rave.

Millennials were kinda lame as ‘hipster’ was little more than irony and beards.

Millennials and Gex thought they’d seen it all and were cool and tolerant.

But then came Gen Z who decided to disrupt the traditional thinking around gender. And all hell has broken loose. Gen X who thought of themselves as seriously tolerant have been massively freaked out!!!!

You have to hand it to Gen Z!!!

What a load of bollocks.

How creative of Gen Z to have come up with this themselves. Except that much of it came from some seriously dodgy people who've been pushing this stuff from the shadows for decades.

How glorious for Gen Z to have turned laws upside down. Except it was done at the behest of Dentons, is the largest multinational law firm in the world.

I think they’re products of blue/pink plastic toys. If you don’t like princesses you must be a boy. If you don’t like tractors that means you must be a girl. Something had to result from all that hideous gender conformity. The result has been that they reject it all wholesale.

Yeah none of them seem to be enjoying their rebellion very much

Yep.

They make the OG goths look chirpy.

Unfortunately, it was not limited to thoughts. There is a trail of damaged bodies and minds in the wake of all this. Medical ethics, science, rationalism, reality and safeguarding protections all eschewed and a coach and four allowed to trample over those made vulnerable by the uncritical adoption and promotion of this ideology in many countries.

They haven’t “disrupted traditional thinking about gender”. They’ve entrenched it.

I don't think we have to hand them anything. It's hardly comparable with acid house and rave. They've been utterly brainwashed into believing you can change your sex, if you're a tom boy you're actually a trans man and that non binary is a thing. I feel sorry for them.
