My internal thought of being lesbian is someone who has feminine trait(s) who is interested in others with feminine trait(s). But like almost everything else in this world, there are cases where this doesn't exactly fit. All you can do is accept that words are generally intuitive but can always have edge cases where you would least expect. So, I'm not sure I agree with the premise but hey, do what makes you feel better.

Oh and the part about Voldemort's mom using a male pseudonym was on point.

I'm not an expert in macroeconomics but I'd say some global effects are likely due to the invasion of Ukraine (global exporter of wheat) ABC News and US Gov, the rising price of oil (some fertilizer uses fossil fuels)NBC, and possibly that the world has changed due to Covid and that a lot of things had shifted along with it CNN. A country that once was in the top 5 of grain exporters dropping off the global map is going to shake things quite a bit and oil unfortunately affects so many different markets.

That, and Lycoris Recoil for me.
