More young people than ever identify as LGBT, and 1 in 4 are nonbinary

A Trevor Project study of 35,000 LGBTQ+ Gen Zers found 26% of those surveyed are nonbinary and 33% of them use they/them pronouns exclusively.

A new study by the Trevor Projectfound 26% of queer members of Gen Z are nonbinary, and another 20% are questioning their gender identity.

The study, which uses data collected from 35,000 LGBTQ+ youth ages 13-24, found more queer youth are gender variant and use different pronouns than the ones they were assigned at birth than ever before.

Nonbinary is an umbrella term that encompasses all genders that fall outside of the traditional categories of "man" and "woman." Nonbinary people's gender may fall somewhere else on the gender spectrum or outside of it entirely.

Youth who responded to the survey used a variety of terms to describe their nonbinary gender identities such as genderqueer, gender fluid, androgynous, and gender non-conforming.


Many nonbinary people use they/them pronouns rather than she or he. Others use neopronouns, or less common pronouns, like ze or xir. Some use rolling pronouns, or multiple pronouns at once like they/she or he/they.

The study found 33% of nonbinary youth use they/them pronouns exclusively, 20% use she/they, 16% use he/they, and 21% use additional combinations. Less than 6% of nonbinary people exclusively use he/him or she/her.

A 2021 Gallup poll published earlier this year found Gen Z is the queerest generation yet, with 5.6% of people ages 18-24 falling under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.

"These findings emphasize the need for policies that affirm nonbinary youth in their identities, such as respecting their pronouns and allowing them to change their name and gender marker on legal documents like driver's licenses and birth certificates," Jonah DeChants, research scientist for The Trevor Project, wrote in a statement.

Over 50% of nonbinary youth are not trans, study suggests​

While nonbinary people are not cisgender – people who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth – not all nonbinary people identify as transgender. The study found that only 50% of youth who are nonbinary are also transgender.

Many nonbinary people are transgender, however, DeChants said it's important to understand the two identities are distinct ones that occasionally overlap.

"Young people are using a variety of language to describe the nuances of their gender identity outside of the binary construction of gender," DeChants wrote.

"These data emphasize that, while there is certainly an overlap, youth understand 'transgender' and 'nonbinary' as distinct identity terms — and you cannot assume one's identity simply based on the pronouns they use."

Yes, massive indoctrination from a young age does that.

This is what comes of ramped up narcissism thanks to social media. It isn't enough to be a gay person or gay ally - you have to be super mega ultra Queer with a sprinkling of fairy dust -an artificially created Gnostic super being with an individually tailored title and persona. When your civilization has eroded to the point where a large chunk of your children don't even know how sex roles work and would view Elagabalus as a role model, then your nation is well and truly fucked.

No surprises here. 1 out of 4 young people are really fucking boring and would love some retarded movement to latch onto in order to make themselves seem more unique. Add to that actual institutional indoctrination with genderblob theory, and growing up addicted to Twitter, and the next generation is screwed.

"Data were collected from an online survey conducted between October and December of 2020 of 34,7591 LGBTQ youth between the ages of 13–24 across the United States recruited via targeted ads on social media"

So let me get this right this was a targeted survey that only went after LGBTQ youth on social media, no shit you would get results like this. This is the failure of the study if you are passing it off as 1/4 of youths say they are nonbinary. Now if it was what percentage of Lgbt+-XSQAURE teens who use social media in American say they are nonbinary that would be valid but that isn't how it's being framed and wouldn't even get a passing grade at college due to that massive oversight.

Also at no point does it bring up the fact this is not a thing and has been disproven, nor does it look into why people are answering this way. Also, I can't find any data analysis for this nor did they talk about the limitations of the study.

edit: forgot to add it's unethical to go after youth for data research especially with no parental approval, back when I did my degree, it was one of the things that would get your research proposal rejected by the ethics board.

And once again, statistics are squeezed from very specific places until they get the numbers and figures they want.

Just because i am lgbt doesn't mean I'm gonna scream it out fucking loud

What a generation of narcissists

Reminds me of 20 or so years ago, when emo got really big and suddenly every teenager was bisexual. Funny enough, once they hit their mid 20s they were straight again. Makes you think.

I expected more tbh. The nonbinary findings confirm one thing for me. A lot of current LGBT are just straight people who identify as non-binary. That is probably the lowest effort of "queer" identities. You have "quirky" pronouns, dress weirdly at times but in a pinch, you can just straighten (hehe) up and present yourself as normal when it matters.

Anyways, I'm waiting for the inevitable troons vs nonbinary culture war.

Even this "study" can't make this shit smell like roses.

If you need to use kids to prove your beliefs are good, it weakens if not cripples the argument. And makes me think these kids are just like vegan cats. Even If I agree with the belief that's expressed (CRT for example, get fucked you raceholes) leave the kids out of it. Fight FOR them, not WITH them.

Anyways, I'm waiting for the inevitable troons vs nonbinary culture war.

Put the bisexuals in there too. It's funny how the Gay Alphabet accepted those two blatent attention whores faster than they accepted the bisexes. Lord knows they must be pissed.

If social media was a literal drug the FDA would have banned if for its horrific side effects and innumerable associated deaths while its maker's would face massive fines and probably get obliterated in a huge class action suit.
At the very minimum, signing up for a twitter account should come with a health warning.
Side effects of twitter may include:
Suicidal ideation
Gender dysphoria
Narcissistic personality disorder
And the liklihood that you will end up sounding like a dickhead and bring shame to both your family and the entire human race.

Going to be interesting to see these stats starting to drop arround the time these youths start hitting 25-30 years of age.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

A totally natural sudden shift, definitely not the results of the social engineering we've been warning of. Generation Alpha will probably flip that to 3/4.

There's not enough rope in the world to get justice for this.

You know, when the internet began. Using moniker was a nice way to communicate with anonymity. Nowaway, their online persona is literally their new gender. I just think troons and their ilks needs to touch grass. If you are a parent of such faggots, just remove their internet access and this bullshit will go away.

Also, parents need to monitor their kids and what they watch, especially with shit like youtube and tiktok. But the biggest issue is giving kids their own smartphones, which very few if any kids even need, all they need is a cheapo phone that can be used for texts and phone calls only.

And before that it was goth kids. The only difference is that adults weren't encouraging them to permanently alter their bodies by tattooing their shitty makeup to their faces because, "Oh they're into goth now? That means they will be into it forever."

Parents are whipped and peer pressured into poisoning their kids now.

"you don't let little suzy trawl the web unrestricted?? Omg.."

Just so people in this thread know this "study" that supposedly backs up this stupid article is a mental health study specifically for LGBTQ kids. So its absolutely worthless as a representation of how many kids are actually identifying as LGBT in a general sense.

The Journalist doesn't care because it can easily be misconstrued to push "THE MESSAGE", but honestly what do you expect from modern journalists or readers to stupid to actually look at the research.

Cool, now I won't feel so bad the next time there's a school shooting.
