So then you might ask, well, how do I know what I want?

You're going to encounter obstacles, some of which might be the size of dragons along the way.

You can make a bad situation good faster than you think and turn it into something better than you might imagine.

So my ego is battling my pessimism, is what you're saying.

Yes, exactly.

What's going to win out?

I think that you're right that the study that you're talking about, it's a little bit, it's not quite as clear cut, I think, as people want it to be, because it is focused on this non-binary thing.

And I don't know that we can say that Gen Z isn't gay anymore.

I don't know that we have the evidence that it's becoming less gay.

I think all the evidence of fact is the other way, that Gen Z is a lot more gay than any other generation.

But I do think based on this study and also just like, and other studies and other data and just anecdotal observations from a lot of us,

that the trans and non-binary thing, I think, is declining.

It's losing steam.

And that was inevitable.

And the reason why is because nobody ever really believed it to begin with.

The only way, I mean, transgenderism as a concept, as we all know, it's been around for a long time.

It's been around for many decades.

It didn't explode onto the scene in this kind of mainstream way until about 10 years ago, 2015, 2016.
