Again, I do not believe this for a second.
In a latest poll young people think there should be a limit on free speech and the 1st amendment should be rewritten.
If you want to see what a good number of Generation Z kids think, then visit 4chan. I have to warn you, the discourse over there would be banned on Free Republic, it’s rather rough.
The biggest factor was pushing transgenderism as the next civil right.
Sexually libertarian young adults had no problem with “let me have sex / marry who I want”.
The problem was the next step for sexual activists - transgenders. It went immediately from “women marrying each other” to naked intact man in the changing room telling you you’re a bigot if you disagree. It went from “let me kiss my boyfriend without harassment, too” to kicking women out of gyms and women’s shelters”.
The issue also created problems for homosexuals. Lesbians get to marry ... only to immediately be told they’re mean bigots if they won’t have sex with biologically intact men in dresses who identify as lesbian. (75% of trans-anything are men, less than 1/4 have surgery, and a large number are heterosexual). So most of the transgender access issue IS dudes in spaces segregated for women’s privacy and safety. This is a violation of principles for feminists. And for lesbians who deal with regular harassment, they’re being bullied for not having sex after the public is celebrating you can do what you want.
I’ll say the lawsuit against the guy who won’t make a porno with the dude-with-breasts because it has male plumbing is a rare exception.
There is a definite culture push, too, to eroding consent. The article telling heterosexual guys that they should have sex with homosexual friends, try it, you might like it. (Admitting it is a choice and we can shape preferences.) Drag queen story time is a deliberate sexual imprinting effort, too, but fewer people care or notice that.
For sexual libertarians, the immediate “love who you want” turned into “you can’t say no” is causing a lot of this.
That’s what is causing push-back against the alphabet mafia.
