Listen "The Fading Fad: Transgender Identity is Declining Among Young Americans by Mike Sharman on Oct. 24, 2025"
Episode Synopsis
Host Doug Apple and Mike Sharman, legal counsel for Share HealthCare, dive into the findings of a new report by Eric Kaufman, entitled The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity Among Young Americans. The report shows that transgender and non-binary identification among university students, which peaked at nearly 7% in 2023, has since dropped significantly, with one of the cited reasons being "improved mental health."
Mike Sharman draws a sharp distinction between fleeting cultural "fads"—like the Nehru jacket or micro skirts—and the tragic, permanent ramifications of the transgender movement, which he refers to as "gender destruction."
-- The rapid decline in gender and queer identity is cutting in half the percentage of students identifying as non-binary (from 6.8% in 2022-2023 to 3.6% this year in one major poll).
-- This trend is even more pronounced in elite liberal institutions. For example, Brown University saw a drop from 5% to 2.6%.
-- The report's link between the decline and "improved mental health" suggests a return to common sense and reality. Sharman explains that Share HealthCare, a 501c3 Christian ministry, is exempt from state mandates—like those in Oregon, California, and Washington State—that require coverage for gender-destroying procedures.
-- Adherence to biblical, eternal principles leads to positive consequences, while contrary actions have negative consequences and create victims, particularly among impressionable youth.
-- Living in accordance with God's Word is supported by new studies, including a correlation between conservative-leaning counties (which tend to align with the Biblical mandate to "be fruitful and multiply") and higher fertility rates.
Scriptures for Further Study
-- Genesis 1:27 (God created them male and female) -- Genesis 1:28 (Be fruitful and multiply)
