3. It turns out Kaufmann’s conclusion is based on a massive statistical error. When corrected, the numbers show the opposite of what he claimed: transgender and nonbinary identification in America has risen over the last two years as more people come out than ever before.

2. On Tuesday, far-right academic Eric Kaufmann published a new “analysis” through his so-called Centre for Heterodox Social Science and UnHerd, claiming that transidentification in America is dramatically declining—a finding tailor-made for those who insist that being trans is a passing “fad.

Why are fewer young people identifying as trans?

A surprising shift is taking place in the gender and sexual identities of young Americans. Data from my new Centre for Heterodox Social Science report, “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Y...

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired

(not really sure if there's been some kind of consensus on the accusation of plagiarism but it seems like the script was registered with the WGA before the other movie was made?)

Day 11 of #31DaysOfHorror LURKER (2025)
very uncomfortable/unsettling with some great performances, but its 3rd act is kind of... missing, there's no real climax to it. It IS sort of the point, I think a movie like Ingrid Goes West handles similar ideas in a more satisfying way

We did it everyone! We got Hollywood to recognize he’s not just a cringe musician, a phony nuisance on set, and an alleged sex predator he’s finally now unmarketable box office poison headed to movie jail.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

FFS "antifa" is just a bunch of guys.

It's not an organization. It's people who don't like what the government is doing to it's own people.

My media colleagues in this country are so fucking stupid.
