Sanity Is Returning: Teens Identifying as ‘Nonbinary’ Has Crashed 70 Percent in 2 Years Among CA 16-Year-Olds
The article analyzes recent trends in how California youths identify their gender, focusing on the nonbinary label on driver’s licenses. It cites data from the San Francisco Standard showing that the count of teens identifying as nonbinary rose to 164 among 16-year-olds in 2023, after being just 38 in the first year (2019). however, this trajectory shifts downward in subsequent years, with 95 such teens in 2024 and 46 in 2025.Among 17-year-olds,the numbers decline from 418 in 2024 to 203 in 2025. The piece uses these statistics to argue that the prevalence of nonbinary identification among youths is declining, suggesting a broader movement away from this trend. It contrasts this with commentary from othre sources noting that some states now offer an “X” gender option on licenses, framing California’s shift as a potentially hopeful sign. The article presents a strong, opinionated critique of transgender ideology, labeling it pseudoscience and describing it in religiously charged terms as harmful to youth. It also situates the discussion within broader cultural and political debates,implying that proponents are pushing a controversial agenda in schools and society. The piece blends statistical claims with provocative rhetoric and editorial commentary.
Is transgender madness among the youth seeing a decline?
One statistic out of California looks hopeful.
According to the San Francisco Standard, the number of teens identifying as “nonbinary” on their driver’s license has seen a decline.
The outlet reported that the state added the classification alongside male and female — which the mentally stable are still apt to choose — beginning in 2019.
Just 38 16-year-olds chose it that first year. The number went as high as 164 in 2023.
But in 2024, it was 95. In 2025, the number was even lower at 46. That’s a 72 percent decline over two years.
Per the San Francisco Standard, 17-year-olds are seeing similar declines — between 2024 and 2025, the number identifying as “nonbinary” went from 418 to 203.
Think of any other trend young people have latched onto only for it to seemingly disappear — disco, planking, and fidget spinners, the list goes on.
Granted, this isn’t the end of vicious gender ideologues and butchers pursuing young people for their experiments, but it does give one measurable indication that this generation is moving beyond the mind virus.
The Zebra reported that there are 22 states in all that allow an “X” rather than “M” or “F” on a license. But if California — arguably the most woke of them all — is seeing a shift, there’s hope.
The left’s rhetoric regarding transgenderism goes something like this — trans people are “being seen” for the first time.
This is “who they are” regardless of what nonsense is being pushed in schools or by professionals. It’s not a social contagion; it’s a panacea to the woes of the people suffering.
In reality, it’s pseudoscience.
Butchering a child in a so-called “gender transition” will carry the same legacy as the lobotomy.
Historians of the future will look back, bewildered that the most advanced, prosperous, and educated country in the world could hurt children.
We shouldn’t be shocked; Satan doesn’t rest. Transgenderism is the inversion of God’s order and defiance of His commandment to have no other gods before Him. Self-proclaimed transgender people make an idol of themselves, worshipping what they see in the mirror.
That’s the spiritual element of this practice.
While abhorrent and damaging to the body, the usual suspect is afoot, looking to find an outlet in the souls of these people.
