    Have I missed anything out??

    Anxiety about gender identity.

    I'd just like to point out that between the boomers and the millenials is generation X (early 1960s to early 1980s). Which I guess many of us belong to I suppose we're largely to blame for Millenials being such snowflakes. Sorry about that.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Half of those, possibly more, are self-indulgent nutters. But in the interests of not commiting hate crime, I won't say which.

            Intersex individuals can have any romantic/sexual orientation and can have any gender identification. Intersex individuals are about as common as redheads.
            Globally, quite possible. But I doubt it's true in Northern Europe for example. Or Scotland.
