Debate Over Alleged Decrease in Rates of Trans Identification Among Students
Recent data from U.S. college campuses allegedly show that the proportion of undergraduates identifying as transgender or nonbinary has dropped from about 6.8% in 2022–23 to 3.6% in 2025.
While Dr. Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham who conducted the analysis, triumphantly proclaimed to have found data suggesting that transgender self-identification is in dramatic decline, this conclusion is being debated in gender-critical circles due to flaws in his methodology, as explained by investigative journalist Ben Ryan and detransitioner Maia Poet.
Christian Foster Parents Denied License For Rejecting Gender Ideology
A Christian couple in Massachusetts has been stripped of their foster care license after declining to affirm the state’s gender ideology policies. Mike and Kitty Burke, who had previously been approved as foster parents, were denied renewal because they refused to affirm a child’s “gender identity or expression,” choosing to remain faithful to biological truth.
The Burkes, represented by Becket Law, have filed a lawsuit against the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families, arguing that the state’s actions amount to religious discrimination and unfairly exclude people of faith from serving vulnerable children.
Major Boston Gender Clinic Suspends Interventions
Boston’s Fenway Health — one of the leading gender clinics in the city — has announced it will cease providing cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, citing recent federal funding rules that make continuing such care untenable.
While the decision is framed as a response to potential funding loss, and the state of Massachusetts continues to fully support sex-rejecting interventions for minors, the closure of this gender clinic will ensure no further harm is done to its patients.
