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.
