Indeed, the present generation of teenagers' attitude, understanding and acceptance of gender and sexuality is an absolute world away from when I was at school. 

It's a generational thing, and I think the number of 'adults' that have a problem with such things is very small. Those crying foul in the media are doing it for their own ends.

Come to some schools in Northern Ireland where my family are from, and you will be shocked and appalled at the language used - words which would get me banned on here if I wrote them. 

I was visiting my home town of Derry, and I was walking past a certain secondary school just as the guys were getting out of school, and boy their offensive language was just appalling. They were taunting some younger pupils and my blood was boiling at the language they used. 

This is a Roman Catholic boys secondary school, and I am shocked at this style of language and offensive words are still there among those boys in 2023.
