Rates of Child "Transgenderism," Which Is Totally a Real Thing and Not an Evil Psyop By the Deviant Communist Left, Are Suddenly in Freefall Now That the Government and NGOs Aren't Proselytizing Transgenderism to Children

You don't say.

You. Don't. Say.

This study is actually about college students but obviously the same thing must be happening with the children the evil anti-human left has been pushing on children for a decade.

A new survey of published polling data by Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom and an adjunct fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, shows a nearly 50% drop in the number of college students who identify as transgender. Kaufmann believes the data shows the gender identity trend is going "out of fashion."

The surveys include polls from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) poll, which samples more than 50,000 students each year, and the Higher Education Research Institute's (HERI) annual freshman survey.

"The annual 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," according to a report in the Washington Times.

At Brown University, 5% of students said they were nonbinary in 2023, but just 2.6% did so two years later.


His full report can be downloaded here.

I can't believe they would do such a thing.

37 "Suddenly in Freefall Now That the Government and NGOs Aren't Proselytizing Transgenderism to Children"

I think it's more about the money spigot being turned off or at least down. This was always 90% about the money, as I see it. Once certain states -- and the feds -- made it much harder to get these "treatments" and cracked down on funding for them, there was much less gruel at the trough for the tranny butchers and their remoras.

Plus, all fads no matter how popular always end up dying and then being ridiculed. And for a lot kids -- especially girls -- saying they were trans was very faddish. Now they're all saying they're KPop Demon Hunters.

I think the "fury" perversion is the next leftwing fad. Or monster sex.

41 Before you read, predict the Lefty responses to this data!

Hard to be honest when you're a target for ignorant people in powerful positions. Forcing people into the closet results in a rise in number of people in the closet. What a revelation!

Just like many people stopped identifying as Jews in Nazi Germany.

Gender, Sexuality, Race, Left Handed People...Why does society have to hurt minority groups before it accepts them?

The linked article is from National Review? I did nazi that coming.

These Trump-supporting traitors are the ones who should be drummed out of American society. NRO writers should be living in the way they merit: under an overpass somewhere, provided it's not to close to a school.

I know a teenager who is clearly autistic (very highly functioning, great grades, but definitely autistic). She told me “no way in hell I’m seeking treatment during this administration. I do NOT want that on my medical record. At least not at this time in this political climate”

Yeah, and I bet as autism continues to be demonized, over the next few years we'll see diagnoses and self-identifications drop dramatically as well.

Banks and CUs and the like can make their own student loans (and student loans were not fully nationalized).

106 NYT having a meltdown:

"The Supreme Court appeared poised on Wednesday to upend a key provision of a landmark civil rights law by prohibiting lawmakers from using race as a factor in drawing voting maps, which could spark widespread redistricting efforts.

If the justices determine that lawmakers may not consider race in drawing districts, the repercussions for the country’s political balance could be sweeping, allowing Republican state legislatures to eliminate at least a dozen Democratic-held House districts across the South.

It’s not clear how fast any redistricting could happen. The court typically issues major rulings by late June or early July, and the next major vote is the 2026 midterm elections in November."

111 Well, the culture is also changing.

If you were a white heterosexual male, large parts of society were basically closed off to you.

Become transgender, and you immediately shoot up to the top of the Oppression Stack.

Who do you think had a better chance of being accepted to Harvard - a heterosexual white guy who plays baseball, or a tranny named "Fifi" who does drag shows for kids?

But as the culture normalizes again (under considerable government pressure), the social and economic benefits to being transgender start to decline.

The job reductions are scattered throughout NBC News. They represent about 2% of the NBCU News Group workforce and a single-digit percentage of NBC News, according to a source familiar with the plans. Status newsletter, the first to report on the pending cuts, put the figure at 7% of the network’s workforce"

Yes, but boys are more competitive...and when seeing an advantage in a "game", they take it. Thus, why boys are the most likely falling off the trans game now. They have no more advantage to gain.

Girls went trans b/c they were far more likely to be mentally ill or responding to a life trauma vs seeking an advantage...that's harder to "turn off" immediately.

B/c these numbers are dropping quickly during Trump's admin...too quickly for any other than those who never "meant" it...

Also, I think the OP assumption is that blue states will be forced to remove the majority minority districts, which wouldn't be the case. It would open up states to remove them as they are, but not force anyone to do it.

I still stand by my assertion that every red state could end all the tranny surgeries tomorrow with a simple insurance regulation change:

Merely require that malpractice insurance for doctors who perform the surgery must cover liability for de-transition or regret up to 20 years after the procedure.

And make it strict liability for any surgeries or medication done on minors.

Those cases are making their way through the courts as we speak. It's an uphill climb.

Democrats don't have to fight for black votes. Machines end up controlling the vote and who ascends because there's no real competition.

Therefore, black concerns fall on deaf ears within the Democrat Party because there's no need to actually do anything to win their votes.

I was reading an article written by a woman opposing the passage of the 19th back in the day.

Her argument was that before the 19th *the family* has one vote. If the 19th passes and the husband and wife vote the same way it doesn't matter at all since we've now just doubled the number of votes, but if they vote opposing each other then the family is rendered with having no vote since they cancelled each other out.

It was an interesting take, back from when marriage was a much more serious institution.

If even 25% of gerrymandering in a MMD is shitcanned, then the MMD fall apart. It's not like the GOP has to "win" by turning MMDs into normal rationally-designed districts. The GOP can win just by getting a judge to require a scale-back of the gerrymander.

The biggest problem with the MM districts (aside from their utter unconstitutionality) is that the politicians in them have no need to try to appeal to the larger population. As a result, you get wackjobs like Maxine Waters who appeal to nobody, and yet carry a disproportionate influence on Dem policy. The Dems desperately need some moderating influences.

B) cremieux, as well as anyone else who thinks it is not important to find a cause and from there an intervention to keep people from a life long disability as expensive and demeaning as life-long Alzheimer's or untreated phenylketonuria is a posturing jackass, and a useless putz.

Phenylketonuria incidence is 1:13,000 estimated
Autism in 1950 was 1:10,000 estimated

There was a lot of research into PK, and there was an intervention of it developed. No one said "oh my, overdiagnosis of this profoundly retarded child let's blame the schools for overtesting"

TJM, I think you are wrong here. If the standard is that race based redistricting is wrong under the VRA, then there is no defense to it at the state level. Thornberg v. Gingles dealt with the 1982 VRA amended Section 2 allowing majority minority districts to exist in the first place. That decision is probably going to be reversed and the amendment effectively gutted.

The old standard of the unamended Section 2 of the VRA was "prohibited only those voting laws that were intentionally enacted or maintained for a discriminatory purpose."

See City of Mobile v. Bolden (1980). The VRA amendment in 1982 unwisely passed by the GOP Senate and signed by Reagan instituted the era of majority minority districts using a new results test instead of requiring actual proof.

Racial classifications are only permitted by courts using strict scrutiny of legislation requiring a compelling government objective and that the legislation is narrowly tailored to reach that objective. States will have the burden of proof to show both conditions met for majority minority districts and if Justices use the 14th to overturn Sec. 2, states will most likely fail.

I'm really just talking about where the pressure will come from. Who will force IL to change a district? If it's through a court, then it comes from a lawsuit, and the only people to sue on that basis would be groups opposed to Democrat rule.

Democrat defenses on these lines will then change to "it's not race, it's partisanship which has long been held to be a valid reason to draw maps certain ways", and they'll probably end up winning on that since it'll be technically true.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison
==========
Doesn't quite work like that because of past precedent regarding redistricting and one man-one vote. Districts violating compactness, history, etc. are at risk of being declared unconstitutional if the purpose is majority minority.

The 15th amendment allows a federal question to state legislative districts to remove redistricting cases from state courts to federal. Plus VRA grants individual plaintiffs standing to do so. Many states also ban discrimination in their state constitutions which creates another avenue. So districts can be challenged by proof of discrimination and purposefully packing all blacks into a district would be facially unconstitutional.

The presumption in strict scrutiny on racial classifications requires the state to have the burden of proof to show non discrimination, not the plaintiffs.

Posted by: whig at October 15, 2025 02:05 PM (WDjG6)

345 >>'m convinced herding blacks into their odd shaped voting districts actually hurts the Dems, especially in swing states. It ends up in more black legislators but probably loses them seats overall as spreading those votes out would flip some districts to blue.

They don't seem to think so which is why they are fighting this so hard. Most projections I've seen put the number of seats that would have a good shot at flipping in the high teens.

Combined with the redistricting that has quietly been going on in a number of states we could see at 20+ seat swing toward Republicans.

If the 19th passes and the husband and wife vote the same way it doesn't matter at all since we've now just doubled the number of votes, but if they vote opposing each other then the family is rendered with having no vote since they cancelled each other out.

It was an interesting take, back from when marriage was a much more serious institution.

Unexpected side effect of the 19th -
Spouses and children derived their citizenship from the husband/father. It wasn't until about the 1940s that women who married aliens hot to keep US citizenship. A standard form to reclaim citizenship was on-line for "g-grandma" use in 2000.
Also out of this, children could be born with duel citizenship.

Billy Jeff's error, and everyone else's (Including Israel's) for the last 30 years has been that they assumed that the Palestinians also wanted a peace agreement of some kind.
They did not. They never did. They wanted endless war until Israel was destroyed, and that has never changed.

So what is different now? They have finally been beaten down militarily so much that they have no choice anymore. Also, it is not important whether Hamas wished to disarm or not. What is important is whether Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar now wish Hamas to disarm, because of the non-public inducements made to get them to join this deal. Without external financial and political support, Hamas collapses quite quickly now.

That is the key to the entire plan. What the Palestinians themselves want is no longer important. They lost.

The problem is there's a relatively small window into build the necessary foundation for socialization, how to navigate interpersonal situations, how to evaluate and take risks, how to deal with failure as a normal part of the human learning process, and various other tools one needs to become an individuated, functional, mature person. If those things don't get built early it becomes exponentially harder to do so, and you have to spend most of your time freakishly scrambling to survive instead of actually living or thriving.

381 I was on Ozempic for 3 months when I started my journey, at the lowest dose, for 12 weeks, 30 months ago now. I started at 355, practically dead. Feet hurt, knees hurt, blood pressure at 190/120, resting heart rate at 100 bpm. It was horrible, but helpful. I'd be nauseous for the first day or two, couldn't and didn't want to eat anything. A glass of water would make me vomit. It got me down to 256. Since, (and concurrently) it's been all life style changes and self discipline. I track every calorie, work out regularly. Have maintained 191 or less since January of 2024, knees still hurt a bit, but not nearly as much, vitals are under 60 bpm, 120/80 or less for bp, lots of energy, etc. So, I can see a need for people in the worst shape, as I was, but it's really the lifestyle changes that matter long term.

384 A lot of those young men who could learn to fit in passably are not learning it, largely because - filter entirely off - they weren't called homos enough when they were younger. It really is that simple.

Men have a way of sorting out hierarchy and behavior into something mostly functional, and those methods are largely absent in modern public education because you have bluehaired cat ladies interfering. Single moms don't help either.

Today's dating market is skewed toward where the top 10-20 percent of males get most of the female attention from their peers. That leaves roughly 80-90 percent of males as invisible until the carousel stops. Truly dysfunctional dating market.

Depends on the dating market, where, and what for. Sure, the Chads are crushing it in the party scene and among younger ladies (under 30) who don't require or aren't ready for commitment.

But there are a lot of normal guys without great looks, money, or exotic cars who are finding mates. They just have to be realistic about it. Those that aren't realistic, and who insist on Chad-level girls, are gonna find themselves lonely.

True, but I wonder what the legal strategies will be if they can't be redrawn in time. Unconstitutional districts are disqualified? I doubt any court will have the balls to do that, but if a district is unconstitutional, then it is unconstitutional. I suspect there will be a big fight over retroactivity.

397 Today's dating market is skewed toward where the top 10-20 percent of males get most of the female attention from their peers.

Online dating gave women a very, very disconnected illusion of choice.

In the old days you'd have men from your friend's/family's/church's/work's associated people. Now, in theory, you have men from all over the earth messaging you. Now, most of those men don't want a relationship, and are also messaging a bunch of other women from all over the earth but...you don't know that.

I often thought a model that makes women message first would be better, but one of them...Bumble?...tried that and their female customers HATED it.

These people infect workplaces; they can't back down from what they did, so they keep pushing it on everyone, forever, and will never back down.

My current employer is in the process of self destructing because some higher ups had tranny kids, and the entire enterprise turned into a jobs program for freaks. Multi-decade, billion dollar business driven into the ground because some fat slobs want to wear dresses and wigs and got hired for jobs they aren't qualified for. About 20% of the remaining company is freaks. I'm only riding it in for some additional bonuses.

Sometimes Scotus addresses this for lower courts. I simply do not know. VRA cases involving congressional districts still have the old three district judge panels with direct appeal (not writ of cert) to Scotus so Scotus can simply allow states to go directly to litigation via these panels or write their own districts subject to the new/old VRA interpretation before Congress monkeyed with it in 1982.

403 "Today's dating market is skewed toward where the top 10-20 percent of males get most of the female attention from their peers."

It's more like top 2% get 95% of the attention, and it's entirely due to dating apps.

I don't mean to offend any of the moronettes here but this is normally referred to as "hoeflation"; where women grossly overestimate their worth on the dating/marriage market.

All it does is generate hordes of miserable single women because almost none of them snag that 2% they want, and many of the rest wait too long to "settle". And they have fewer to choose from them, as well, as many men dropped out in disgust and won't give them the time of day.

For what it is worth, a month ago I read an article from Canada that 1/2 of men who try to become women surgically kill themselves. Their goal was not met.

What was met was chronic leakage, no sex, no orgasm, ingrown hairs and taking 15-20min to simply pee. Plus chronic pain all day.
