Episode notes

CDC survey started in 2015 asking about identifying as transgender. That has got up an enormous amount, mostly among young adults. There's a very, very little change in transgender identification among people 40 and older. But really not much compared to the big change in both men and women identifying as bisexual.

Are Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers truly distinct groups or just convenient labels? With millions of individuals in each category, it's hard to imagine they all share common experiences. Together with renowned psychologist Jean Twenge, Adam unravels the conventional notions of generations, exploring when these labels can be helpful and when they might miss the mark.
