Back in my clinical urology days, my colleagues and I would sometimes say, “Time is on our side,” referring to the inevitability that if people lived long enough, they would eventually need a urologist. The tongue-in-cheek sentiment came to mind when I read this Pew Research Center tweet:

It’s no secret that millennials are more likely than older people to view gender as fluid and unconstrained by traditional male / female boxes and life-tracks. For that reason, I celebrate the new millennial majority and look forward to the inevitable transformation of the majority attitude toward gender. Time is definitely on love’s side!
