I think the discourse is amplified by social media platforms that fail to represent the majority of the world. Real threats such as famine (Sri Lanka) or war take precedent over an argument about gender identity on a social media post. And that's another issue. While we argue, the West and the privileged, the poor continue to suffer iregardless of the argument.

Indeed the picture is more complicated than a simple line of good or bad. Worse time to be alive? Only if you have access to the internet.
