Well that's just what happens when people are able to be themselves
Yep I instantly remembered that graph.
The fact that a lot of older people are also coming out shows that it isn't just zoomers either like some people try to allege.
What happened in the early 1900s?
They tried to beat it out of children.
FFS...
Just like they did with queer people much more recently! It didn't work either time.
When will people learn to stop being shitty to each other...? :-(
…when we beat it out of them…? /s
Lmao!
When the world ends in like 10 years.
One of my grandmothers is actually left-handed and told me her teachers would hit her left hand if she tried to write with it. She was forced to write with her right hand.
One of my cousins (another grandchild of hers), is left-handed. It sounds so absurd that it would be a "problem" that required anyone to beat them so they'd write with their other hand.
It was a sign of the devil. Hence the term sinister.
I remember that being a plot point in a Power Rangers episode. :P The confusion between "sinister" and "left". That's how I first learned it meant the same.
From your link, I find it super interesting that "dexter" is the opposite. In Spanish, there's the word "diestro", which I bet comes from that.
Probably increased public education.
This is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread.
