Trans identification among young Americans drops sharply since 2023: report
- This year, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression polled over 60,000 US undergraduates, showing non-binary identification fell to 3.6% from 6.8% between 2023 and this year.
- Postpandemic improvements in youth mental health partly contributed to the decline in trans identification but cannot adequately explain it, researchers and the Centre for Heterodox Social Science found.
- Elite-School data show Ivy League universities saw non-binary identification peak at 7% in 2023 then fall back to 3% this year, while Andover Phillips Academy dropped from over 9% to 3%, and Brown University declined from 5% to 2.6%.
- Younger cohorts are driving a decline, with the freshman 2028 group less likely to identify as BTQ+, and Eric Kaufmann states `It appears that trans and queer are going out of fashion among young people, especially in elite settings.`
- Despite stable political ideology, culture-war attitudes and religious identification levels, Higher Education Research Institute surveys show steady non-binary rates at less-prestigious colleges through 2019-24; researchers say only time will tell if the decline continues.
