I think the pandemic had a big impact as well. Social distancing meant that people were isolated from the forces that usually made them perform cisheteronormativity, and a lot of people realized "oh hey I'm queer actually".

I know quite a few "COVID queers", including myself.

That tracks. I thought I was going to break the mold and escape COVID without realising I was trans! Figured it out like a year in lol
