I've never been one to see sex as THE moral indicator of our society. Indeed, the Christian community--and I mean the "take their religion seriously" class--has so failed in upholding the traditional sexual ethics they claim, that the matter in and of itself can barely be credibly pushed by them politically. BUT, this below goes to science, family, social function, and indeed masculinity.
Deckman, the Washington College professor, sees a similar collision course between Republicans and youth like Generation Z on issues of LGBTQ rights, transgender rights and countering the traditional values of the religious right.
Deckman said her surveys reveal that though a majority of Generation Z identify as cis-male and cis-female — meaning their gender identities match their sex assigned at birth — roughly 1 in 4 identify as queer, either transgender or “genderqueer.” A third of Gen Zers say they know someone who uses gender-neutral pronouns to refer to themselves and nearly 6 in 10 say forms or online profiles should allow more options than “man” or “woman,” according to Pew Research Center.
