Porn habits can xem sex trên ?i?n tho?ibe telling. Take Pornhub's Year in Review; in 2022, the tube giant showed that women are increasingly on the site, and watching lesbian porn.
This year, Pornhub's Year in Review — the site's tenth — shows that boomers (which Pornhub considers people 55 and older) are increasingly watching trans porn. In terms of percent difference in popularity when compared to all other ages, boomers were 58 percent more interested in transgender porn than younger folks:

That's not to say that watching porn makes you accepting — and there are certainly boomers who are trans or otherwise LGBTQ themselves. Considering Gen Z is the most LGBTQ generation thus far, though (20.8 percent identify as LGBTQ compared to 2.6 percent of boomers, according to a 2022 Gallup poll), it's notable that trans porn is more popular amongst the latter.
And that's not the only LGBTQ category on the boomer list; "bisexual male" porn is 38 percent more popular among boomers than other generations.
Now let's look at the top relative categories for Gen Z — meaning, the percent difference in popularity compared to other ages:

Sex machines like androids or robots
Uniforms, like soldiers or cops
Therapy, including sex and massage therapy
