<p>With a number of significant political victories, the year 2025 also brought conservatives some good news on the cultural front as transgenderism among youth reportedly saw a notable decline in the country. This means that American youth have started to steer clear of the destructive delusion that they can be any gender they like despite their innate biological reality.</p>



<p>As early as October of last year, Eric Kaufmann of the Manhattan Institute reported on the trend of transgender and queer identities declining sharply among Generation Z in the United States. Kaufmann analyzed the annual survey data by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) for the year 2025 covering more than 60,000 undergraduate students in the country. His analysis showed that:</p>



<p><em>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.</em></p>



<p>Ricky Scaparo&#8217;s End Time Headlines ministry also reported on the FIRE data and wrote that transgenderism was a social contagion. The ministry also compared the FIRE data with two other surveys on the prevalence of transgenderism among young Americans – one by Andover Phillips prep school near Boston and the other by Brown University’s student newspaper. Both surveys corroborated the results of the FIRE survey.</p>



<p>Fox News called it a huge win against radical trans ideology as Laura Ingraham discussed the report with Eric Kaufmann on her show.</p>

<p>Novelist and former <em>New York Times</em> reporter Alex Berenson welcomed the news of transgenderism’s decline among American youth. On his X page, Berenson called transgender medical procedures “a cultural bubble aided by the massive profits” and one that has now been popped.</p>

<p>World-famous British biologist, author, and critic Richard Dawkins responded to the news by calling transgenderism a “social contagion memidemic” on his X page, adding “this one will never fade for those unfortunate children irreversibly damaged by chemical or even surgical mutilation.”</p>

<p>Most of the mainstream media that is politically and corporately aligned with the globalist left ignored this story about transgenderism’s decline in the U.S. But the development remains relevant and indicates the ultimate victory of sanity over delusion at a time when the Supreme Court is hearing more than one case of men dressed as women participating in women’s sports.</p>



<p> ;On Tuesday (January 13), the Associated Press reported that the Supreme Court appears inclined to uphold state laws that ban “transgender girls and women” (meaning males dressed as women) from playing in women’s sports. The decision of the SCOTUS is expected by early summer this year with conservatives keeping their fingers crossed for the victory of sanity.</p>
