Interesting read, and I agree with a great deal of it. I&#x27;ve had quite a few interesting conversations with my hyper-PC eldest step daughter on the subject - all of whose female friends (aged 16-17) don&#x27;t identify solely as female, and yet all of whom haven&#x27;t had any significant relationships, and all seem to have succumbed to pressure to identify on a subject they haven&#x27;t really had much experience of. And as time goes by, more of them are finding out that they are normal, and attracted to males.<p>We&#x27;re all on a continuum of nearly every characteristic about us. I find the constant desire to have to self identify on every variable is becoming tiresome. Had I been at school today, I&#x27;m sure I would be diagnosed as on the autistic spectrum, but fortunately I was a child of the 1970s, and unless you were truly afflicted you were just considered &quot;a bit odd&quot;. The kids who I teach now mostly find labels they are given as a reason for their behaviour, rather than a starting point for any change they may wish to undergo, and while it&#x27;s well intentioned, my experience of it (in a school with about 75% with some firm of SEND requirement) is that it is viewed as an explanation of current behaviour, rather than anything constructive. Not in every case, but in the majority.
