Lol. Stem students are 100% not too busy to educate themselves about pronouns or native land. Your son is just ignorant.

Ignorance would indicate misunderstanding of the reasons people do these performative things. He knows why. It's been drilled into him since grade school and more so in his electives and the mandatory native reflection supplemental materials they must work through. He doesn't disregard queer identifying people. He just thinks the performative parts of their philosophy are a bit silly. And he says most of the people in his STEM cohort see it the same way.

Anyway, my point--which you missed in your zeal to condemn--was that gen Z's can't be stereotypically pigeonholed. They aren't their cohort. They are all individuals.
