In a clear sign that the radical gender ideology push is losing steam, new data reveals a shocking drop in the number of American college students identifying as transgender or non-binary, just two years after the trend peaked under the Biden-Harris administration's influence.

According to a report from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), analyzed by the Centre for Heterodox Social Science, the percentage of U.S. undergraduates claiming identities other than male or female has declined from 6.8 percent in 2023 to just 3.6 percent in 2025, representing a nearly 50 percent decrease.

The report states:

The scale of the decline in the student data is considerable, even accounting for variability in the data. The Andover prep school sample shows a drop from over 9 percent non-binary in 2023 to 3 percent in 2025. In the much larger FIRE sample, the decline during the same period is from 6.8 to 3.6 percent of the total, a near halving of the non-binary share across a sample of 55,000-69,000 students per annum.
