Has the gender madness fever finally breaking among America’s youth?

Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, compiled a report for the Centre for Heterodox Social Science titled “CHSS Report No. 5 The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans.”

The report draws on data from several sources, including annual campus surveys done by Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a Higher Education Research Institute survey of incoming college freshmen, and as well as various other studies.

Kaufmann found that the “share of young people not identifying as male or female (typically ticking the non-binary or questioning options) has declined substantially since its 2022-23 peak across 3 of 5 data sources.”

Some of the studies show a drop from 9% to 3% while others have the figure drop from 6.8% to 3.6%.

The study shows what many of us have said for years: That the idea that there is no gender, or that gender isn’t binary, was mostly a fad pushed by radical activists.

Many claimed that the increase of trans and non-binary youth showed there were a number of children who were gender confused, and it was only the bigotry of old that were silencing them.

More likely, virtue signaling teens saw they could simply change their pronouns, including to newly invented ones, from day to day, to show how progressive they were.

It gave kids cachet, and power, without needing to do too much or commit to any bit.

Seeing a decrease in non-binary youth means that kids aren’t as interested in participating in even the low-effort gender bending category.

Similarly, Kaufmann shows a decrease in the “share of students identifying as not heterosexual” with a drop of about 10 points.

This decline came from the “queer or other sexual categories (i.e. pansexual, asexual) and, to a lesser extent, bisexuality.”

In other words, the co-ed who will eventually marry a man has stopped referring to herself as “queer” and faced the reality that she’s just a straight lady.

The number of gay and lesbian students has stayed constant while the number of heterosexual students has increased.

It’s good that these made-up categories are seeing a nosedive in participation.

But years of “affirming” confused kids into the opposite gender means that we aren’t going to see quite as steep a fall among trans-identifying kids yet. It’s hard to get off the roller coaster once your family, friends and health professionals have all strapped in alongside you.

Kids who are on hormone treatments to attempt to look more like the opposite sex, or whom have had surgical intervention, won’t be able to just quit one day and forget about what had happened to them the way the green haired non-binary guy will simply dye his hair back to its regular color and go to law school.

The number of truly transgender people is vanishingly small, and as an adult this country allows them to live as they wish.

But the propaganda being pushed on young children — that they can change their gender on a whim, indeed there is no such thing as gender — has had horrific consequences.

Some children were mutilated, pushed to medical treatments that they were too young to truly understand — and which are impossible to reverse.

It’s a good sign that the tide has shifted. But some kids will be stuck in the evil trend longer than others because of the misguided support of people around them.

That’s why we need to make sure bans on gender-change medical procedures for minors is outlawed, and schools stop peddling misinformation about sex. No child should be hurt by this ideology.
