It also could be that our society is much more understanding and liberal now a days with the internet and what not. Its OK to be gay, you dont have to wait til your 30 to come out these days. You should be able to say "maybe im gay" or whatever when you're in school and try that life style if you want to. I thought this was the land of the free. Like why not?
They would be alright with the QB of the football team fucking the prom queen but not if its two dudes or two girls. lol.. You're right that it is alot more common but thats because they wont get their heads caved in, put in jail, castrated, etc. At least not as much, but yeah. I dont think its a fad though. I think that people are curious and they will try things when given the opportunity. They dont face a huge social penalty for saying im bi or trans or whatever.
One more thing. We have NO IDEA what its like to go to school these days. I cant even imagine. I think we should be like culture shocked if we spent a day in a classroom. You think so?

Sure more acceptance plays a role but saying there is a cultural element driving it (and by cultural I mean among peers), and that it might be just a phase is not dismissing it, and is probably the best approach to take initially
It also happens to be the approach I see 99% of parents taking. They aren’t saying (at least not to me), “well Timmy said he’s a girl so let’s dose him up with some estrogen”, and they’re not saying “Timmy is going to hell and I don’t love him anymore because he said he was a girl”, either. They are sitting back, expecting it to be a phase, and letting it play out. Now this is what they say to professionals, maybe they are getting Timmy hormones or chastising him behind closed doors, I dunno what happens behind closed doors
I have only had to make one CPS report on a parent who didn’t accept his kids sexuality, and that was because it was a deadbeat parent who was also didn’t know where his kid was most of the time and spent most of the conversation with me insulting the kid. He’s probably lost custody a long time ago now. That’s it, that’s the only sexuality non-acceptance report I’ve made
