Something strange is happening in New Jersey, even by Jersey standards. Then again, it’s apparently happening all over the country these days, so perhaps “strange” isn’t the right word. In any event, public school enrollment records in the Garden State show that in the 2019-2020 school year, 16 students identified themselves as “non-binary” in terms of gender. This year that number skyrocketed to 675. That’s an increase of more than 4000 percent in only four years. For those who haven’t been following the story thus far, this brief bit of mathematical analysis is one of the clearest bits of evidence of a true social contagion that we’re likely to see.

Recent state enrollment data from New Jersey has found that the amount of students in the public school system who are now considering themselves to be “non-binary” has skyrocketed over 4,000 percent during the past four years.

In the 2019-2020 school year, a mere total of 16 students identified with such a label, according to enrollment figures from the New Jersey Department of Education. Now, that number has ballooned to 675, marking an excess of a 4118 percent increase for the 2022-23 school year.

41 of those 675 are elementary schoolchildren, per the report.

The fact that 41 of the students claiming non-binary status are in elementary school is perhaps even more alarming. Children who aren’t even close to puberty yet are already being dragged into the trans pipeline. As with any social contagion, it’s almost guaranteed that these children didn’t dream this idea up on their own. It was fed to them by someone.

New Jersey isn’t the only place this is happening, of course. In Montgomery County, Maryland, a 582% increase was registered over the same period. This is taking place in most school districts across the country. But we only have numbers from the states that record and publish enrollment data and allow genders other than male or female to be recorded.

More than a year ago, a study from The Williams Institute at UCLA found that the spread of transgenderism was accelerating nationally. Their study claimed that 1.6 million Americans ages 13 and over identified as transgender. That figure included 1.3 million adults (0.5 percent) and roughly 300,000 teenagers (1.4 percent). Of course, we now know that it’s happening in elementary and middle schools, so the total numbers are no doubt higher.

This seems to be a clear indicator that this contagion is spreading. If transgenderism is showing up in 1.4 percent of teenage children, why is the figure for adults barely one-third of that? It suggests one of two possibilities, or more likely a combination of both. Either people are growing out of their gender confusion after reaching adulthood or the population is numerically stable but more children are being fed into the pipeline than had previously been seen, most likely in our public schools.

If it’s the former, then we’re seeing additional proof that gender dysphoria isn’t “permanent” and children will grow out of it if they are given enough time and support. To address the latter issue, parents need to step up and get involved with what’s going on in the public schools. As the linked report tells us, efforts are already underway in New Jersey to change the rules so that parents can’t be told if their children are experiencing gender issues unless the child gives permission first. Take control of the school boards and put an end to this madness. Your future is literally at stake.
