Good to see this article is now doing very well! Glad I caught it early :-)
The flip side of this auto-segregation - it's somewhat like a chemical precipitation - is that those kids who wish to "cross over" are thought of as outsiders. They are not gay or trans; they seem to just enjoy a different energy and are happy to be in both groups. Somehow, this is verboten.
This does not bode well for adults.
Very true.
