It turns out transgenderism had become a fad …
… pumped up by propaganda in schools and online (especially social media), the medical establishment, leftist activism in general, and trans activism in particular.
Transgenderism had existed for years. But it was extremely rare and mostly – although not entirely – confined to grown men who wanted to be women or at least to look like women and attempt to pass as women. The explosion of rates of transgenderism in recent years was mostly driven by enormous increases among adolescent girls fleeing from womanhood. That’s the exact same demographic that has traditionally succumbed to crazes, whether it be witches in Salem, starving oneself for beauty, or cutting oneself to feel alive.
Among them, transgenderism has acted like a fad, as has been obvious for at least a decade. Now we have more evidence of it:
A newly released study shows the number of young Americans who identify as nonbinary has dropped by nearly half since peaking in 2023, an indication that the identification is going “out of fashion.”
The percentage of university students “not identifying as male or female” plunged from 2023-25 in three of five surveys evaluated by Eric Kaufmann, politics professor at the University of Birmingham in England and director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science.
“Trans, queer and bisexual identities are in rapid decline among young educated Americans,” said the report, “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans,” which was released Tuesday. …
The surveys used include the annual Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s annual poll of more than 50,000 college students, which found that those “not identifying as male or female” fell from 6.8% in 2023 to 3.6% in 2025.
Other sources showing a decline were the annual Andover Phillips Academy poll and the Brown University student survey conducted by the Brown Daily Herald.
The Andover Phillips Academy survey showed 9.2% of students identified as neither male nor female in 2023, a figure that plummeted to 3% in 2025.
That’s a significdant and fairly sudden decline. However, the rates are still very much more than they had been for all those years prior to the popularization of the trans phenomenon. The true incidence of people who would have come up with the desire to change sexes – a desire persisting into adulthood and not a transient childhood wish – is probably far far lower.
Meanwhile, much damage has been done to young people. And it’s not over yet.
Color me… surprised.
Correctly, or not, i use the term ‘cult’.
It’s the fastest way for white people to move up in the intersectionality hierarchy. White people have tried identifying as black or Native American but that tends to blow up. And you have to do so little to identify as trans, it’s not necessary to get surgery or anything.
The medical establishment is never to be trusted again. Doctors that would do that to 12 year olds (Chloe Cole) deserve to be hanged.
The most aggressive of the trannies are those m-to-f types, most, if not all are either outright homosexuals or suffering from autogynephilia. They are the most predatory and violence prone of the whole deranged bunch. Ironically, in typically male stereotypical behavior, they are the ones who bully the gullible females, both young and, sad to say, older into thinking that men and women are fungible. Along these lines, I recommend catching the latest post from Janice Fiamingo on her substack (“The Female Elephant in the Room”) and James Lindsey (New Discourses) on his podcast (“The Raging Birth of Queer Militancy”).

In re the medical profession in general, it’s that the creepazoids among them were permitted to do this. Also, people who objected were subject to various sorts of sanctions by the apparatchiks in charge of hospitals and guilds. (See Jordan Peterson). It’s not that there are creepazoid physicians and surgeons, its that the people in charge are on their side.

I was a big fan of the TV series “House” which I later read was adapted, in part, from a series of NY Times articles on extremely unusual and true medical cases. Then I discovered that some newly minted M.D. also took an interest in the show and created a website that attempted to hash out the fact from fiction in the cases presented in the show. I was only able to read his stuff by digging into his then defunct website via archives on the Wayback machine.
One episode was called “Airborne.” House is on a long haul flight over the north pole and a male passenger has a severe attack of something and House attempts to care for him. Not too long after that, several others passenger are afflicted, with not exactly the same symptoms. An epidemic spread is feared.
It turns out that the first case was a real ailment, but all the other afflictions are among several women on the flight. It is claimed that those were an instance of a type of female mass hysteria.
I was curious to look that one up on the doctor’s analysis website where he was able to find a documented psychological effect among women, whose name I’ve forgotten, that was a little bit similar to the one in the episode. But my recollection was that the nature of it was considerably more limited than the one depicted.
TommyJay:
I’ve read many many instances of such psychological contagion. It’s not limited to females, either, although it’s more common among them.

This morning, I received $16,945 as my 3rd paycheck from this incredible online job, and I’m still amazed at how easy it is! With just a few hours of effort each day, I’ve been consistently earning $500 or more, making this the perfect side hustle for anyone. The flexibility and reliability of payments have given me peace of mind and freedom to focus on other goals..

The explosion of transgender cases has been driven by social hysteria, fueled by social media. It’s good to know it’s beginning to fade, but so many lives have been damaged or destroyed in the process.
Some of those young kids that were subjected to surgeries will not be mentally stable as they get older. There will be more incidents caused by them. Could be that their parents will suffer.
Gender refers to sex-correlated attributes (e.g sexual orientation). Trans indicates a state or process of divergence. Unfortunately, the fad is not limited to simulants in the transgender spectrum. #NoJudgment #NoLabels #LoveWins
Trans also includes transhumanism. #HateLovesAbortion
This topic gets a fresh new deep dive in an expert interview with Eric Kaufmann (Canada, UK).

UnHerd interviews Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham, Eric Kaufmann, to discuss his latest report on “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans”, which reveals a significant and surprising shift in the landscape of gender and sexual identity among Generation Z. Professor Kaufmann explains his findings, which show a sharp drop in both trans and queer identification since 2023. Drawing on data from large-scale surveys of US undergraduates, he details how the share of trans-identified students has nearly halved in just two years
This is good to see and not at all surprising, especially given Trump’s victory and subsequent dismantling of much of DEI at the federal level.
While Breitbart was mostly right in that politics is downstream from culture; the reverse is sometimes true. This is an example.
Two personal anecdotes:
First, my wife has a good friend whose teenaged daughter abruptly identified as trans around 2021 and adopted ‘he/they’ pronouns. By 2024, at age 20, she was back to ‘she’ and seemed to completely shed all of the trans identity.
Second, I was in a Zoom training today in my deep blue city in my deep blue state. As per usual over the last several years, the Zoom link invited us to put our pronouns next to our names. Of the 25 people in attendance, only three or four did so. Four years ago, the numbers would likely have been reversed.
Small developments. But encouraging
Sorry, but this interpretation does not carry water.
The study asks how many people *do not identify as either male or female*. A trans-man will identify as male, even if “assigned female at birth”. That’s kind of the entire point about the trans movement…
As such, surveys like this may be helpful, but the one thing they CAN’T say is that there are fewer trans people.
Then there’s the cash-cow influence. Plus the Munchausan- by-proxy influence.
Unfortunately, I can, without going looking, think of three school shootings by trans. The guy who tried to kill Kavanagh got a reduced sentence because he was trans.
If you listen to the media you would think that at least 50% of the nation is either trans or wants to be. Near the office where I work there is a small Off-Broadway theater called The New Victory Theater which had on its marquee “Protect All Trans Kids” – I kid you not.
