More and more students are identifying as transgender and other similar categories in California’s public universities, new data shows.
A significant transformation is underway within the University of California (UC) system, marked by a notable surge in the percentages of undergraduate students who present themselves as “transgender” or “non-binary,” as revealed by data covered by the San Francisco Chronicle.

“Transgender,” “nonbinary,” and “gender nonconforming” students made up 0.6 percent of the UC student body in 2019, but in 2023, they constituted 1.9 percent of the student population, with most of those in the category calling themselves “nonbinary.”
UC Berkeley saw a notable surge from 0.2 percent of students identifying as one of the previously mentioned categories in 2019 to 1.8 percent in 2023, and UC Santa Cruz had the highest proportion of “nonbinary” students at 4 percent and transgender students at 1.1 percent within the system.
Em Huang, the Director of LGBTQ+ Advancement and Equity at UC Berkeley, highlighted university initiatives such as permitting students to pick their own name and “gender identity” for most official school documents, reported the Chronicle.

The surge in transgender and nonbinary student identification comes at a time of broader legislative changes in California. Recent California legislation concerning those who identify as LGBT includes a law that stops police officers from inquiring about a person’s “gender identity” during stops.
Last year, California implemented legislation that according to bill sponsor State Senator Scott Wiener would “protect trans kids and their families if they flee to California from Alabama, Texas, Idaho or any other state criminalizing the parents of trans kids for allowing them to receive gender-affirming care,” essentially allowing minors to come to California to receive life-changing, irreversible surgeries.
Campus Reform has reached out to UC for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.
The land of fruits and nuts gets worse.
There's a segment of liberals who always want to be in on the new fad. The younger ones believe they have less to lose by "identifying".
“Number of ‘trans,’ ‘nonbinary’ students in University of California system surges after schools embrace gender insanity...”
Tran slation:
Number of psychotic students in University of California system surges after schools embrace gender insanity..
It’s also a shield to explain failure and protect against any criticism. I never had any excuse. I had to perform or people would die.

LGBTQ+ ? I know someone who self-identifies as an EIEIO.
Why is he not given special status too? It’s so unfair!
I'm sure that many of these "suddenly nonbinary" students are actually quite normal. They're simply checking a box to move themselves up the diversity totem pole. Get themselves some valuable victim cred.
True that. IMHO, some do it to absolve them of the guilt of being too white.
All I know is that I don’t run into any more in regular life comings and goings than before. (I’m 79)
Some it I suspect is merely “fashionable,” and isn’t really real. (Suggesting it will pass on its own, as fads & fashions always wear out over time.)
Sexual “oddness” is easy to simulate and immitate. It’s matter of costume, makeup, and acting, mostly.
Everybody young wants to be accepted and fashionable. A trend-oid.
California land of lemmings chumps and suckers follow the crowd be cool morons.

Yep, and if that cute girl is ‘nonbinary’, you can ‘identify’ and ‘console’ each other.
It’s the easiest way to gain power through victimhood. You can’t change your race (yes, I know...) but you can one day walk in to a room and declare you are the opposite sex and everyone gushes over your “courage and true self” and doors that only victimhood opens lets you right in.
But mostly it is just ugly socially awkward clowns.
Let’s see…that’s how guys get a free pass into the girl’s locker room, right?
Meanwhile, Harvard has these these bozos who publicly identify as “nonbinary”:

That’s not the Harvard that I knew way back!
Veritas and honor!
If I were young, nee-do-well athlete, I would switch genders!
I may get some great fame being a girl?!
Nah.
They are below average people who don’t stand out and aren’t accomplishing anything other than to be an freak show oddity that is a protected class.
The dems had to come up with something to make them feel better about themselves and this is all they could come up with.
Do not go,or send your kids, or recommend uc schools...or csu schools. Defund them by not going there and supporting private. Non woke schools.
