I always feel like kids who cannot explore and discover themselves are painted into a corner, and the natural curiosities become forbidden obsessions. That’s not to say conservative parents have more gay or trans kids, but that when their kids are gay or trans, it becomes a much larger part of their personality, either in rebellion on in self-loathing. Everybody exists on a spectrum, and nobody is just one thing, but people who pretend the world is binary and demand conformity leave no room for nuance or ambiguity.
