10 hours agoAre fewer people really identifying as trans and non-binary?
A graph, supposedly used to track the number of US citizens aged between 18 and 22 who identifed as trans or non-binary from 2021 to 2024, was created by American professor of psychology Jean Twenge, in response to claims by right-wing academic Eric Kaufmann that "trans identification is in free fall among the young". In a post on X/Twitter post earlier this month, Kaufmann shared "analysis" that he claimed showed fewer people were publicly identifying as trans. But the research was challenged by journalist Erin Reed, who said it contained "a massive statistical error" by ignoring binary trans people.
