Many young people realize being White and straight means you are going to live your life as a hated second class citizen, so they claim to be nonbinary or queer and automatically become privileged. Whether or not they actually engage in such behavior is up for debate.
I agree, and I also think the gender war has left so many people lonely and feeling unwanted that they have to claim one of these freak identities to rationalize their romantic failures.

I think maybe you’ve hit on something. If they declare an “Other” while young, it gives them a better chance of getting into a college or a job that gives preferential treatment, because they can prove a history and that they aren’t just checking a box at the time of applying.
I wonder if this is discussed among young people & on their chat sites?
This is true, another factoid that if whitey saves his hide it won’t be goood people doing but people who are good shots.
If a young woman goes to Smith or Mt. Holyoke or Wellesley today, she isn’t going to proclaim herself heterosexual, even if she is. It’s considered too controversial and confrontational. She’ll try to be “openminded” and “tolerant” and describe herself with one of those other letters or symbols, Q for questioning, A for ally, A for asexual, P for pansexual, N for nonbinary, Q for queer, B for bisexual, Ƭ̵̬̊ for the artist formerly known as Prince, or + for anything else. It doesn’t necessarily mean she’s having sex with the other girls there or with anybody else.
