A teacher I know posted that an unprecedented number of kids (she teaches 7 and 8 grade) talk to her about their pronouns and most feel they are a “They/Them. She then said she thinks if everyone felt comfortable to be who they are that 50% would be part of the LQBTQIA community and is so excited about it. I think she and others almost push this on kids and it can confuse them. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s we didn’t have so many different categories. And most grew up to be happy members of society. I can’t say anyone was depressed or committed suicide because they were a man trapped in a woman’s body or vice versa. Why now would so many kids tell their teacher that they don’t identify with being a boy or girl? Also on another note, they/them is plural yet now it’s used to classify one person. Isn’t that teaching the wrong grammar?
Could not be half the population.. If that were true, the population would be decreasing. LBGTQ for the most part do not create babies between a man and a woman. a woman and a woman do not naturally create a baby. they can adopt, or have a surrogate, but im talking strictly woman/woman or man/man sex. So no, it would not be that high, life and nature has to reproduce and so that stat would not be true.
they are pushing a lot of b.s. on kids, its part of the leftist agenda, so sorry they are starting this early. but they are. it will cause confusion AND will cause a little girl to think she is a boy.
The reason we have so many in the country now is b/c we have vacuuming them up from countries around the world !!! That will continue and eventually we could get to half the population !!!

No, it's not wrong grammar. It's been around for a good while. This article says since 1375. If you can have a singular and plural 'you' why does it seem so remarkable to have a singular they? https://public.oed.com/blog/a-brief-...singular-they/

The Alfred Kinsey figure of around 10% is generally recognised.
I think it's more likely a spectrum rather than a binary state. For example, perhaps person A can be mostly straight but with some weak bisexual tendencies, while person B may be strong homosexual but occasionally fantasizes a straight relationship. Hence the actual answer would be fuzzy and it depends on what you're measuring. Nature is flexible about expressing traits.
