Transgenderism as a social trend appears to be over. Today’s show breaks this down.

According to The Washington Times:

The number of young Americans who identify as transgender has dropped by nearly half since peaking in 2023, an indication the gender-identity trend is rapidly going “out of fashion,” according to a newly published survey of polling data.

The percentage of university students who describe themselves as transgender fell from 6.8% in 2023 to 3.6% in 2025, according to the study, “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans” by Eric Kaufmann, a professor at the University of Birmingham in England.

The number of heterosexual individuals has also increased to over 80%.

“This is a trend across the board,” Crowder said. “When you look at all of it together, it’s an irrefutable trend that we are seeing. It peaked and then declined.”

Last year, Gallup claimed that “LGBTQ+ Identification in U.S. is now at 7.6%” and that “more than one in five Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+.” Some people believed the increase was due to greater social acceptance, but that does not explain why the rise was largely among Gen Z and not older generations.

"Then why would you have people in San Francisco and Austin identifying as trans, and not in a place like Oklahoma?" Crowder said. "The percentage of our population that identifies as gay has remained remarkably stable. It’s hovered around 2–3 percent pretty much throughout all of recorded human history."

So, in other words, it's a social contagion.

“We were force-fed this by leftists. Not radicals — people in charge of the Democratic Party and people in charge of our institutions,” Crowder said.

According to Crowder, this has run its course, and it's unlikely to pick back up.

"Here’s the takeaway: it was a trend, and you’re going to see it consistently decline," Crowder said. "Treat this as that bad period of time when we lost our minds, and leave it where it was. Give it no credibility. Laugh it off."
