the little knowledge i have about bisexual discourse on twitter suggests it is very bad

i wouldn't know though, what is a tweet
Anyway, I assume GG would say "no but you see the relevant question is how many Gen Z lesbians WOULD THERE BE were the youth discouraged from IDing as trans," a sort of Value Over Replacement Lesbian computation

the bit about bisexuals being in different-sex relationships is some extremely funny "I don't think you fully understand what 'bisexual' means" stupidity

another irritating aspect of mis-analyzing that data: Gallup only polled people 18+ so "Gen Z" only includes people born 1997-2002. Comparing that fraction of one generation to the other full cohorts is misleading (not to mention the obvious differences you'd expect asking 18 year olds about their sexual identity versus 38 or 68 year olds)

Greenwald is flipping out on ppl who called him out on that shit tweet.
Partially by simultaneously throwing H3rz0g under the bus, then by admitting he used her as a shield against criticism.
Fuck this shit bag.

These are major social and cultural changes that are extremely new. I’ve lived as a gay man in LGBT communities way too long to give the slightest shit about bad faith accusations from anonyomous morons like you seeking to prevent any discussion or exploration of these trends.— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 24, 2021

(some of the clapbacks he got were great though)
I liked how he ignored that there are also more people who identify as trans than as lesbian in the "Traditionalist" (pre-Boomer) generation.

Maybe we can get a fact-check from one of our intrepid and totally non-partisan fact-checkers such as @ddale8, @GlennKesslerWP or @PolitiFact about this glaring, blatant lie Jen Psaki (so refreshingly) told to justify why Biden refuses to even sanction Mohammed bin Salman? pic.twitter.com/0FazuLMHh5— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 2, 2021

Good piece from 2010 on this anti-liberalism tendency stretching back into the late 80s.
I do think this is the relatively early stages of a newer incarnation though. Other than an organic crank core previous incarnations haven't had that much success within the wider 'left'. Spiked has outsized presence in the UK due to outside funding, and credulous amplification by the likes of the BBC rather than any genuine presence.
But this seems to me the earlyish stages of something more likely to gain a wider foothold, (previously?) respected figures on board. Populism for populisms sake, where populism is shouting and not understanding things.

It's literally impossible to satirize woke idiocy in a way that its practitioners will know you're doing it, because in their world, the most outlandish and idiotic uses of wokeism are cheered, so no matter how glaring you make the mockery, they still won't see it. https://t.co/nhXQG67cZZ— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 9, 2021
