New data suggest that fewer Americans say they are transexuals. I hope that’s true, and I hope that one reason is that fewer young white girls feel compelled to escape from the cis-white-oppressor category by claiming to be trans and therefore victims themselves. But before I get into that, here are some data.

This recent article about transgender identity cites the Household Pulse Survey that asked 18- to 22-year-olds whether they call themselves male, female, or transgender.

Here is the percentage that said “transgender,” with a peak in the first half of 2024 and a sharp drop in the second half.

The author of the article reports that surveys so far in 2025 no longer ask whether people think they are transgender. The Household Survey is government funded, and the Trump administration says there are only two sexes, and doesn’t let you say you’re trans. That’s too bad. I’d like to know how many people think they are the wrong sex.

Other data that hint at a decline in trans identity are in this report by Eric Kaufmann called “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans.”

This graph is of the percentage of certain groups that don’t call themselves male or female.

That percentage peaked in 2023 and is fortunately coming down. And we have data for 2025. But these are small samples: an annual survey of about 1,000 students at the Andover prep school and the freshman class at Brown University. FIRE is Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, and samples around 50,000 students. But the trouble with these numbers is that you can be trans, claim you are one sex or another, and not show up as aberrant at all.

This sheds some light. Here is how Andover students describe themselves.

The blue line at the top is heterosexual, a clear majority. The red is bisexual, purple is “all others,” and the green at the bottom is homosexual. Heterosexuals took a sharp dip from 2020 to 2022, but are making a comeback. People who think they are the wrong sex are presumably among the purple “all others,” and although that group is down from its 2022 high, it crept up from 2024 to 2025. Maybe trans is less popular; maybe not.

Here is a similar graph for Brown.

The top line, heterosexual, also took a drop into 2022, but is coming back. The purple line, “Queer & Other,” which would presumably include transexuals, is down from its high, but rose in the fall of 2025. Again, inconclusive. The Kaufmann report says that the percentage of students calling themselves trans has dropped from 7 percent to 4 percent since 2023, but I don’t think the data are that clear.

The trans craze hit young white women hardest. In fact, you can see it as one of the most horrifying consequences of the anti-white insanity that has swept the West.

This City Journal article from 2022 called “The Assault on Children’s Psyches” is one of the most infuriating articles you will ever read. Its subtitle is “California’s ethnic-studies curriculum is fueling a mental-health crisis among teenagers.”

Manhattan Institute Fellow Leor Sapir writes that young white women from liberal families are perfect sponges, and soak up the message of white guilt.

“Being white is not something these teenagers can escape, but they can mitigate its social costs by declaring themselves part of an oppressed group.” “Plagued by guilt, the children — almost all of them girls — rush to the sanctuary of ‘LGBTQ+’ identity. Once there, they are catapulted into hero status.” They are also sucked into a system that encourages them to “transition.” Mr. Sapir concludes: “California’s teen girls are seeking refuge in puberty blockers, testosterone injections, and double mastectomies, while their parents are almost powerless to stop them.”

Mr. Sapir based this article on conversations with distressed parents who set up support groups. I don’t know how common this nightmare is, but if even only one young white woman has mutilated herself in the hope of escaping whiteness, it’s an outrage.

Here is an AI representation of trends in transexual identification over the last 15 years.

There are no good data for 2025, and I hope there has been a decline. Blue, at the bottom, is men who think they are women, and red is women who think they are men. As you can see, back before the craze, the problem was mostly men thinking they were women. If these data are correct, from about 2020, the trend for men leveled off. The problem is young women thinking they are men.

According to a UCLA study, young blacks, Hispanics, and Asians are less likely than young whites to say they are trans.

However, AIAN—that’s American Indians and Eskimos—are more likely. Each group may have different reasons, but it’s interesting that young blacks—who according to all surveys have the highest self-esteem of any group—are least likely to say they are trans.

Trans is a dangerous, artificial fad. It encourages young people with mental problems to do things that make their problems worse. There have been high-profile mass shootings by trans or trans-related people that show how deeply disturbed some of them are, and let us hope this will dampen the encouragement the media, schools, and society offer them.

The AP reported last year that “England is limiting gender transitions for youths.”

Some US states have also started cutting back.

Young white women appear to be especially tempted by transgenderism as an escape “oppressor” status. Nothing would do these women more good than to understand that their race is a source of joy, not shame.

Let’s hope that as more whites shake off this insane guilt, we can leave this horror behind.

  1. Jared Taylor: “Young white women appear to be especially tempted by transgenderism as an escape “oppressor” status. ”

    That’s probably a minor motivation, since becoming a white man would make the “oppressor status” even worse. I would think that being both ugly and unfeminine is a more likely cause. An ugly, masculine-looking woman has all the disadvantages of being female with none of the perks. They probably think “I may as well go all the way!” LOL The FtM transition is eased by the fact that testosterone will put bass in the voice and give them a manly beard, while the reverse isn’t true for those starting out male. It will also give them a clit the size of a Vienna sausage, and a ferocious sex drive. Meanwhile, birth control technology keeps the kiddos away. Always trying to play the gentleman, Taylor overestimates “white guilt”as a cause, and underestimates lustful, female depravity.

  3. A quote from the article in the City Journal:

    “They want the warmth that comes with queer/trans identity, but above all they don’t want to be thought of as vicious oppressors.”

    This is what a woke green haired lesbian teacher would claim, and it could not be more wrong. The phenomenon of young girls destroying their lives by indentifying as queer/trans results from a complex interplay of social dynamics, psychological factors and cultural influences.

    First there’s group dynamics and competition for status. In social groups, individuals often compete for status, resources, and mates. This competition is amplified in adolescence, as young people navigate complex social hierarchies and establish their identities. In Western civilization, with its increasing individualism and emphasis on personal expression, status competition can take on unique forms.

    There are very complex motivations behind some young people’s identification with queer/trans. Identities, such as those related to sexual orientation or gender, can serve as powerful tools in status competition. By adopting marginalized identities, individuals can signal their progressive values, gain social capital, and distinguish themselves from their peers.

    Narcissism and Machiavellianism are personality traits that influence an individual’s behaviour in status competition. Narcissism, characterized by grandiosity, self-admiration, and a lack of empathy, can lead individuals to prioritize their own needs and desires above those of others. Machiavellianism, characterized by manipulativeness and a lack of morality, can lead individuals to exploit others and act deceitfully to achieve their goals.

    High levels of these traits will lead young girls to adopt queer or trans identities strategically, rather than out of genuine self-discovery or alignment with their inner identity.

    The decline in average IQ and increase in mental health issues in Western populations can exacerbate these dynamics. Lower IQ can make it more difficult for individuals to navigate complex social environments and make well-reasoned decisions. Mental health issues can further impair judgment and decision-making, making it more likely that individuals will engage in impulsive or ill-considered behaviours, such as adopting a queer or trans identity for status rather than genuine self-discovery.

    Cultural narratives and societal pressures can also play a significant role. The current cultural narrative around LGBTQ+ identities often emphasizes their victimhood and the moral superiority of those who support them. Young girls will adopt these identities ostensibly to align themselves with this moral narrative, but in reality to gain status.

    The big problem is that the parents and teachers of these girls also have low IQs and genetic mutations. Thus, young people aren’t taught to question cultural narratives and think critically about the information they are subjected to.

    Healthy social environments are not being fostered. Schools and communities encourage social environments that value debauchery, attention-seeking and status competition. Identity politics is at the root of much of what is wrong in the West. From their first day at school, children have it rammed into them to essentialize and stereotype individuals based on their identities.

    How many modern parents are aware of the sick filth contained in the lyrics of modern pop songs that are targeted at 6- to 15-year-olds? Those sung by the hermaphrodite Taylor Swift, for instance.

    The real fault lies with these young girl’s parents. The parent’s have bequeathed them bad genes. Neither education nor medication will fix bad genes. And if someone does figure out a way to repair mutated genes, Big Pharma will undo the repairs with medication.

    As for transgenderism, it has done its job. It was really just a stepping stone to transhumanism – this will be the next big fad for young girls. The status that young girls gained by indentifying as boys will be nothing to what they’ll gain if they are told they can have the knowledge of the World Wide Web channelled directly into their brains.

  5. The trans craze hit young white women the hardest

    Young white females are very susceptible to Commie brainwashing via social media/MSM/school etc. Via ChinkTok, ZWOG brainwashes them into anti-white ‘social justice wog warriors’, race-mixers, antifa vermin or tranny headcases. Thus the reduction & extermination of the white man continues–as more & more white females are removed from the white mating pool. All by design of course.

  9. If you’re a white woman and cannot excel in the west and feel you need to transition to male you’re so dumb you literally need lobotomized, not transitioned. There has NEVER been a better or easier time to be female in planetary history than right now in the West, and tomorrow is going to be even better.

    The number of girls transitioning is vanishingly small, yet never-name-the-jew Taylor spills the tea and the digital ink on this? What a tool. Go read about Norah Vincent and have a genuine laugh, a belly buster of mirth.

    The default state of the average western woman is a narcissism so enveloping it’s best defined as mental illness. Jared the jew-slurper celebrates a reduction in ftms, with a number of such women so vanishling small it wouldn’t matter if the number of ftms fell by half or tripled. And of those who do stop transitioning, how many of that small base group will go on to have a nuclear family and children? After being CLEARLY fucked up enough to believe that men have an easier life and if only they could become a 5′ 2 scruff bearded manlet then their lives would be better? They’re going to buy an audiobook of Mein Kampf and have 7 white children?

    The trans craze hit young white women hardest. In fact, you can see it as one of the most horrifying consequences of the anti-white insanity that has swept the West.

    It did? In my estimation mtf outnumbers ftm 5-1 at a minimum. Reminds me of the meme “Entire planet ends; women and minorities hit the hardest.”

    No mention of jew love for trans from their Baphomet god with dick and tits, their belief in the male and female duality of god, of the first trans operations being done by a jew in jew-overrun 1930s Germany? No mention of the heavy jew influence in both feminism and American trans movements? What an *sshole this guy is!

    What happened here is Jared needed a safe subject to write about and as we all know the dastardly trannies are a safe target for low-value gutless whites to put the boots to, but being fundamentally lazy and ignorant of the subject he put together a pastiche that’s good enough for AR or … dunno r/Trump or something. Or Epoch Times? Apologies not really sure where Boomer trash gets published.

    There is that apparently.

  16. It would be interesting to see how this data tracks with other forms of self-mutilation, such as tattoos, face-metal, and hair dyes not found in nature.

    They and transgenderism all seem to be effects of the anti-Western guilt imposed on impressionable youth. Women being more socially conformist and Whites being more inclined to moral community likely make young White women especially vulnerable to such ‘grooming’ (not to mention interracial dating and sex–OK, I guess I just mentioned it!).

    As Mr. Taylor notes

    young blacks—who according to all surveys have the highest self-esteem of any group—are least likely to say they are trans.

    So trannies likely are victims indeed–just not in the way they suppose. Now let’s identify culprits!

  17. @JudeoSatanism

    I have a terrible imagination. I am clueless what I’d like to transition into. Bartender, can you get me another gin & tonic?

  18. @DeDoc

    From where I am, I really don’t see any kind of trans fad abating. But then again, I am not around student or high school / junior high school aged people all that much. I grew up in a white working class neighborhood. After I came out as an alcoholic oops – I mean I could legally go to bars, gay and lesbian folks were around, but not overwhelmingly so. I don’t think I ever met a trans person (male to female) until I was in my 30s. And I don’t think I have ever really interacted with the inverse trans option (female to male). Now you have young people identifying not only as trans, but as pan, queer, etc. etc. (I prefer deep fryers myself) and using the pronouns they & them (I guess they have multiple personality issues as well). I’d be horrified of thinking of myself as a they /them – bad enough just being a singular he-him. At this stage I am glad I’m an old peckerwood. Adults can do whatever they want to their bodies, but there has to be some kind of outrage at what “the system” is putting into the heads of vulnerable young people. The articles goes into all that well enough. I will give you respect (more likely interpreted as leaving you the fuck alone), but don’t expect me to affirm you or your identity. Currently I have to deal with a number of trans people. I am very civil, but I keep to my side of the road.

  21. The bizarre dogma that humans can be born with the “wrong” genitals is such an absurdity that it conjures the image of powerbrokers sitting around a conference table vying to outdo one another with the most ridiculous line of BS to dump on the unwashed masses. This is what “narrative control” means: define the limits of “free speech” so it becomes meaningless speech that offers no challenge to abusers of power. And as Voltaire is supposed to have said: when they can convince you to believe absurdities, they can convince you to commit atrocities.

    It’s hard to picture a more divisive rallying cause – and divide-and-conquer is the most useful survival mechanism of tyranny. I am old enough to remember the first Swedish sex-change operation. Conservatives fretted over the consequences they feared might ensue, though none visualized that switching genders at will would become the fad it grew into. I doubt transgenderism would be as useful if that “remedy” had never been developed. Note also the role of the eminently corrupt and ever profit-hungry Big Pharma lobby, which manufactures the expensive biochemicals necessary to simulate the secondary sex characteristics of the desired gender.

    It will be interesting to see what the propagandameisters come up with next. Way back in 1841 the journalist Charles Mackay described this quirk of society in Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, “We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.”

  23. @Observator

    Once I heard the expression that gender was ‘assigned’ at birth, I realised that a true psychic epidemic was at work. Sex is set, forever, immutably, in every cell, at conception.

  24. Observator: “The bizarre dogma that humans can be born with the “wrong” genitals is such an absurdity that it conjures the image of powerbrokers sitting around a conference table vying to outdo one another with the most ridiculous line of BS to dump on the unwashed masses. ”

    It’s no more absurd than the standard Christian beliefs that you’re not really your body, but instead an invisible “soul” inside a body, or that a spook that lives in the sky is always watching you, keeping track of everything you do. Indeed, the idea that you’re not really your body is an indispensable first step to take before you can believe you’ve been born with the wrong genitals.

    Observator: “Note also the role of the eminently corrupt and ever profit-hungry Big Pharma lobby, which manufactures the expensive biochemicals necessary to simulate the secondary sex characteristics of the desired gender.”

    This is the typical Marxist trick of trying to reduce everything to a matter of wicked capitalists trying to exploit the innocent proletariat. Why doesn’t the same logic apply to those evil bastards when they supply birth control pills? Oh, that’s right. You like those, so there’s no conspiracy there. Yet it’s due to the use of birth control tech that biological sex has lost most of its meaning in modern life. It’s the true basis of feminism and the equalizing of the sexes, which would be impossible without it. Thanks to technological “progress”, your sex is now a “lifestyle choice” instead of a biological destiny.

  25. Ephesians 6

    The Whole Armor of God

    10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

    14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

  26. The Democrats burned down whole sections of cities over the death of George Floyd while tens of thousands of our young boys and girls’ lives are ruined because of Republican inaction, or worse. The Republicans today are hardly more than a function of Jewish money. They neutralize any chance of native leadership, like, say, Col. Douglas MacGregor, from arising to restore our country. Instead of a man of Col. MacGregor’s gravitas and stature leading our nation, we get a buffoon like Trump who openly brags before the Knesset he’s a stooge of the Jews.

    This is hardly surprising when nearly all the Republicans in Congress but Rep. Massie have a handler appointed by AIPAC who apparently calls the shots. It’s also worth pointing out that it’s not just politically motivated democide that motivates those behind the occult sexual mutilation of our young, but what appears to be a seething hatred of us so deep it expresses itself in the desire to sexually mutilate pretty little white girls like the child in the photo.

    The Republicans should have had patriots out in the streets to peaceably oppose the surgical and chemical sexual mutilation of our children in the same way the Democrats mobilize their base in the streets. Instead these miserable stooges labeled patriots as “white nationalists,” whom the Republicans then further defame as the gravest domestic terrorist threat facing America.

    In Weimar, after Hitler took control, trannies were arrested and rounded up and subjected to either deprogramming or imprisonment. Their books were burned. Remember when we were taught how evil the Nazis were for being so mean to these degenerates?

    @Dr. Robert Morgan

    Taylor overestimates “white guilt”as a cause, and underestimates lustful, female depravity.

    Yes. Unfortunately this is a widespread tendency, however it has more to do with the silencing effect of all those years of feminist thought and language policing in schools. Most men under a certain age have known nothing else. Being a gentleman is an exercise of grace, whereas thought and language policing is an act of coercion – the two are polar opposites and mutually exclusive.

    The root cause of both the trans issue (in both transition directions) and the coercive silencing is feminism. Feminism has left countless women with massive unresolved discontentment issues and an insoluble hypergamous delirium. Transition hormones exacerbate female lustful depravity that was already there under the surface, often greatly so. The trans issue will not be resolved until there’s clear recognition of this.

  29. The most horrible daily experience, as an adult, one has to endure is to not burst out laughing when someone serves you at the library or a shop, who is obviously male but expects you to treat them like a female because they wear a dress or bunch their hair up?

    I feel sorry for these unfortunate creatures who are weak minded victims of suggestion and conditioning by a malevolent, feminist controlled, education system that hates white males and tells them so constantly.

    Why hasn’t Trump done anything in that area by balancing the gender gap in education?

  30. Johan says:
    @Mr. Crowley

    The fact that the transgender epidemic is lessening is probably due to complications in the operation, which is that transgenderism went at war with the poison which is feminism. Feminism is a more important tool against white society, statistically, as it seeks to set up white females against white males, to control the white males, and to subjugate them, for the governments to have greater control over male-female relations.

    Hence, we are a back in a phase of new campaigns of feminist poison which have been increasing lately. So it is merely a calibration, by means of diminishing the power of certain foot soldiers of destruction at the favor of other foot soldiers of cultural destruction. The permanent revolution goes on.
