Study Shows Sharp Decline in Transgender College Students: ‘Less Fashionable’

(Worthy Insights) – In the last two years, the number of college students who identify as transgender has dramatically diminished, according to a report called The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans.

Writing for the Centre for Heterodox Social Science, Canadian professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, Eric Kaufmann, analyzed several surveys, including one conducted by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which questioned over 50,000 undergraduates from more than 250 American colleges.

Kaufmann told CBN News that more American college students see themselves as heterosexual now than in recent years. He said the number of people identifying as trans, or non-binary, which he says are identities that are so similar that differentiating between the two is like “splitting hairs,” first began rising in 2010 and continued upward until 2023, when it peaked. Since then, he reports, it has dropped by about half, from nearly seven percent to under four percent. He adds, college freshmen are a lot less likely than seniors to identify as trans.
