Yes, Gender Ideology is Crumbling Among Teens Too

It has been recently documented that “trans” identity and gender ideology are losing their deceptive grip on young adults in America. But this does not mean all concern over gender ideology is removed. Real Clear Politics features an important commentary on how state medical societies continue to demonstrate ideological capture to wokeness and the gender mind virus, thus crushing the scientific discipline of medicine.

However, good news continues to be uncovered regarding young people. Professor Jean Twenge, who has documented dramatic declines in “trans” identity among young American adults, also documents that identifying as “nonbinary” is also in free fall among teens. Twenge states, “The results were unambiguous.”

Across eighth, 10th and 12th graders, identifying as nonbinary plummeted between 2022 and 2024.” The graph in her article demonstrates the stark decline.

Twenge explains that the decline was largest and earliest among the youngest grades. “The decline was largest among eighth graders; identifying as nonbinary was cut in half between 2022 and 2024, with most of the decline between 2022 and 2023.” It happened a little later with 10^th graders, and 12^th graders saw their sharpest decline in 2024.

She explains, “This pattern is an almost perfect illustration of a generational shift, starting earliest among the youngest group and then moving up the age scale.”

The data Twenge is citing comes from the highly reputable and nationally representative 2024 Monitoring the Future research on American teenagers. It is conducted annually by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research.

Twenge concludes, “With three nationally representative samples showing a decline in transgender or nonbinary identity since 2023, it’s clear things have shifted just in the last few years.”

Deceivers can only sustain a lie for so long. It seems the deception that a person can be anything other than male or female is losing its grip among young people. This is very heartening news. Now we just have to wait for leading medical professional associations to realize the truth and untangle themselves from the lies.
