US - Shocking new data shows that the number of young people identifying as nonbinary has plummeted.
Eric Kaufmann, a politics professor based out of Vancouver, analyzed data from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression as well as universities, and discovered that nonbinary identification has dropped significantly amongst Gen Z since 2023.
The data from FIRE, which polled more than 60,000 students at colleges across the United States, shows that just 3.6 percent identified as a gender other than male or female.
In 2024, that figure was at 5.2 percent and in both 2022 and 2023, 6.8 percent of the college students identified themselves as nonbinary - a little more than double the percentage of college students who do today.
Self-reported data from elite institutions tell a similar story, Kaufmann found.
Andover Phillips Academy in suburban Boston, which surveys three-quarters of its students each year, for example, reported that in 2023, 9.2 percent identified as neither male nor female.
This year, the figure is at just three percent.
At Brown University, a whopping five percent of students identified as nonbinary in 2022 and 2023, but by 2025, the share dropped to 2.6 percent.
