| 0:00.0 | A now viral post on X asserted the trans ideology is officially dead based on the stats. |
| 0:06.0 | But 20 million impressions later, and it seems like it all was a sham. |
| 0:15.0 | So this week, a British and Canadian professor whose name is Eric Kaufman posted a now viral thread, |
| 0:20.0 | basically asserting that trans |
| 0:22.1 | ideology, especially for my generation, is over, amongst many other things. Now, this post |
| 0:27.4 | took off, like I said in the introduction. It has almost 20 million impressions on X alone, |
| 0:31.9 | just on his individual post. And people have spent the last few days celebrating, congratulating |
| 0:36.9 | each other, said we have won the culture war, everything has changed, but unfortunately, the numbers and the stats do not tell the entire story. |
| 0:44.9 | So let's just dive right into this here. This is the beginning of the thread, the first post that Eric made. |
| 0:50.5 | And this right here is the graph that according to Eric shows the decline in trans |

| 1:14.7 | Now, Kaufman posted that graph as evidence of the decline in young people identifying as transgender. |
| 1:19.6 | But the graph that he posted is not even about transgenderism. |
| 1:24.1 | It is about people not identifying as either male or female, but instead, rather, |
| 1:28.8 | non-binary. So let's actually read the graph. Share of students not identifying as male or |
| 1:33.6 | female from 2016 to 2025. Again, it is not even about transgenderism. And yet he is asserting |
| 1:40.9 | that trans identification is in freefall among my generation. |
| 1:45.0 | Now, the studies of Eric Kaufman is pulling from to do this report did not give the option for trans female or trans male. |
| 1:51.0 | It simply was male, female, or non-binary. |
| 1:54.0 | So everybody saw this. They read his headline. They looked at the thread. |
