B-Man Posted Thursday at 02:12 PM Posted Thursday at 02:12 PM Is the Trans Fad Over? One of the strangest phenomena of recent years is the remarkable number of young people who tell pollsters they are bisexual, transsexual, asexual, nonbinary, or otherwise “*****.” Since human biology has not likely changed, what explains this literally perverse trend? Whatever it was, it now may be drawing to an end. A new report, based on surveys from multiple sources, finds “*****” identification in steep decline: From the text of the report: • After surging in the 2010s and 20s, trans and ***** identities are in decline among young Americans • The transgender share among university students peaked in 2023 and has almost halved since, from nearly 7 percent to under 4 percent • The share of students identifying as not heterosexual fell by around 10 points in the same period • The decline in non-heterosexual share is concentrated in the ***** or other sexual categories (i.e. pansexual, asexual) and, to a lesser extent, bisexuality • Today’s freshmen are less BTQ+ than seniors, suggesting that decline will continue • The decline in BTQ+ identification does not appear to be connected to lower social media use, religious revival, a shift to the political right or lower support for woke ideology • There is evidence that improved mental health has reduced BTQ+ identification My sense was always that being “*****” was largely a fad, and that actual sexual behavior changed much less than what young people told pollsters. It appears, finally, that the fad is drawing to a close. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/10/is-the-trans-fad-over.php
