The Transgender Trend: Is It Over? by Mark Sanders

On October 14, 2025, Matt Walsh posted on X, “Transgenderism is effectively over. We destroyed it. Clearest and most decisive cultural win that conservatives have ever achieved.” But does the data really show that young people are rapidly abandoning these labels and identities? On today’s episode Harvest USA President Mark Sanders takes a closer look at the cultural moment. He challenges us to look past cultural narratives to remember the suffering our brothers and sisters with loved ones embracing transgender identities are facing.
