The world is waking up.
This is great news for young people, great news for parents -- and terrible news for the doctors who had begun to profit from this madness.
From UnHerd:
Data from my new Centre for Heterodox Social Science report, 'The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans', shows that since 2023 both trans and queer identification have dropped sharply within Generation Z.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), which conducts a large annual survey of US undergraduates, polled over 60,000 students in 2025. My analysis of the raw data shows that in that year, just 3.6% of respondents identified as a gender other than male or female. By comparison, the figure was 5.2% in 2024 and 6.8% in both 2022 and 2023. In other words, the share of trans-identified students has effectively halved in just two years.
According to one survey, in 2023 9.2% of students at Andover Phillips Academy in Boston identified as neither male nor female. That number now sits at 3%. Brown University saw similar numbers, going from 5% to just 2.6% over a similar time period.
More data:
More surveys ask about sexual orientation than gender identity. And while there is a broader spread of data points, the basic pattern looks similar: rising non-conformity from 2010 until 2023, with a near 10-point return to the norm in the ensuing two years in most datasets.
Trends are changing:
But why? We can speculate, but really we don't know. Here's some data you can use to speculate.
Who would've thought that a decline in mental illness would coincide with a decline in trans identification?

Yep, just a fad.
Yep. And the kids are nothing if not trendy.
“We can speculate, but really we don’t know.”
Oh, I think we do - if you can’t grift the system, why bother?
Too bad many kids ruined their lives. And so many adults, including parents, encouraged it. Should be criminal.
But but but…. Muh sCIenCe!!
young skulls full of mush were taken advantage of
Charts like this make a mockery of the notion that a persons’ sexual orientation is genetically determined and fixed, which was homosexual propaganda for so long. It’s not something casually chosen like picking an order off a menu, but it lies within the realm of the will, and one can cultivate an orientation (either in oneself, or in grooming others).
“””””Yep. And the kids are nothing if not trendy.”””””
I bet a lot of the guys are glad the waiting list for surgery was taking so long.
Teachers are not able to give better grades to Tranies to buy them into the cult.
Just read elsewhere that 1/3 (!) of incoming Brown University freshman identify as LGBTQ/Bi/Tran
Amazing how leftist propaganda, one’s political identification, and media/cultural acceptance can create a huge societal trend.
They do not want to suffer the Perdelwitz Effect.
the young people discovered it’s full insanity
praise God!
and thank you Charlie Kirk.
Thank you President Trump!
Some people come out with little to no problems. Most have at least some issues for the rest of their life. And a percentage end up dead.
Give your kids the gift of knowing how to say "Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione" (I'm not interested in your dopey religious cult). And it is a cult.
