The time after the pointless teen years in which a young person develops what are called "standards" and "morals." It is a time in which eyes are opened and "The Truth" suddenly becomes clear.
Usually beginning when one enters college, said young person reads deep literature, searches for the meaning of life, and listens to college radio, all the while secretly becoming even more confused than when he/she was an lame 16 year old.
The Post-Adolescent Idealistic Phase usually entails naive 18-20something year olds upholding hopeful, yet unrealistic morals. Often, utopian dreams can be confused for "The Truth."
After the phase has ended, the young person must beware becoming highly hypocritical and/or jaded once life has slapped them around a bit.

Get the Naked Idealism mug.A straw-man of a transgender narrative used by TERFs and conservatives that supposedly requires you to fit gender stereotypes of one's gender identity. In reality, a person doesn't have to fit specific stereotypes to be any gender, whether cis, trans or non-binary.
It serves to dehumanize transgender people through reducing them to the dangerous "ideology" that must be eradicated, serving the cause of trans genocide.
