The article discusses a surprising decline in transgender and queer identification among young Americans, particularly in Generation Z. This trend, observed in a study by Dr. Eric Kaufmann, reveals a sharp drop since 2023, especially among university students. The decline is most pronounced in queer, pansexual, asexual, and bisexual identities, while gay and lesbian identification remained stable. Freshmen are now less likely to identify as BTQ+ than seniors, suggesting the trend is continuing. The downturn is particularly noticeable in elite institutions like Andover and Brown University. Non-binary identification has also decreased significantly. The article notes a rebound in heterosexual identification alongside these shifts. The author suggests that improved mental health might partially explain the trend, but also proposes that it mimics the fading of a trend. The data does not align with shifts in political beliefs or social media use. The author argues that those who promoted the "sexualization and queering" of youth should be held accountable.
