No Longer Trendy to be Trans in 2025

In recent years, gender identity has become one of the most visible and debated topics in American culture. From social media movements to school policies, the rise of gender fluidity and transgender visibility reached a peak around 2023. But by 2025, the landscape has shifted — and not just because of changing public opinion.

🗳️ Political Winds of Change

The election of President Donald Trump in 2025 marked a turning point in federal policy toward gender and diversity initiatives. Several executive actions have reshaped the national conversation:

• Ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports, citing fairness and biological distinctions.• Defunding universities that promote DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs.• Elimination of DEI initiatives in federal agencies, signaling a return to more traditional frameworks of identity.

These moves have been praised by some as restoring clarity and fairness, while others view them as rollbacks of hard-won civil rights.

📊 Cultural Shifts and Social Media Influence

A recent poll shared by Moms for Liberty on X (formerly Twitter) claims a 50% decline in self-identified transgender youth. While the methodology and interpretation of such data are debated, it reflects a broader sentiment: gender identity may no longer be seen as “trendy” among younger generations.

Critics argue that past surges in gender fluidity were fueled by:

• Peer pressure and social contagion, especially among teens.• Aggressive promotion on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.• Early exposure in schools, where gender topics are introduced at younger ages.

Supporters of gender diversity counter that visibility and education are essential for acceptance and mental health — not fads to be dismissed.

🧠 Ideology vs Identity

The current climate suggests a growing divide between those who view gender as a spectrum and those who believe in a binary framework. For many Americans, the question isn’t just about policy — it’s about how society defines “normal” and who gets to decide.

While some celebrate the decline in gender fluidity as a return to traditional values, others worry it signals a suppression of individual expression. The debate is far from over, and the implications will ripple through schools, workplaces, and communities for years to come.

I was just accused of being a fascist and alt-right by an ex friend

As some of you might know, I was born and raised in SF, and was brought up in the woke mind cult. I did manage to break free of it though, and got to see how far I’ve come these past few days.

After the 16 election, I, like everyone else in the cult, was completely devastated and actually had a panic attack on election night. Yes, I was also sobbing.

But the next few days I started to regain some emotional control, + started wondering why so many people voted for him. Surely the entire country wasn’t what Queen Hillary and Messiah Rachel Maddow said it was? Was everyone a foaming at the mouth racist? What was the normal American thinking in voting for Trump? So I started messaging some people on tumblr and followed some light conservative accounts. Asking questions, coming to them with newspaper articles and exchanging what the other side was saying. And you know what the craziest part was? These were super nice people, nothing like what I had been taught, and they were SO much more tolerant and loving than the infighting and bullying tactics that I had been told was what politics was. The liberal news and MSM love to espouse how foaming at the mouth conservatives are, and claim that conservatives are the ones in a cult and won’t hear any dissenting opinions, whereas the left can’t agree on anything! While ignoring the fact that they say Vote Blue No Matter Who, and what they dissent on is a minute detail on an article that has alternative facts to begin with. Or rather, perfectly curated facts, and they decry about different pant suit colors.

I started to listen and reevaluate my views, and as I was 18, what I wanted to do with my life. Then I saw a buzzfeed article on how oppressive some 50s housewife guide was. When I read it, I remember thinking how much I actually wanted it. I had always been one of those super girly girls. Hell, I had 20 imaginary kids, rather than imaginary friends. I started looking for blogs like that, anything sort of ‘trad’ but it had actually not become a thing (and wouldn’t for about 6 more months), so I tried to curate my own version on tumblr. I started wearing dresses, I became my old self, rather than the depressed, on all the meds, foaming at the mouth, won’t listen to anyone that doesn’t follow my extremely narrow views girl that I had been.

Fast forward almost 10 years later, + I have a wonderful masculine hubby and I am a sahw. I can’t do cooking and cleaning at this point as I had some massive heart failure 2 years ago due to genetics (yes we are sure 😂 I was supposed to get this when I was 8, not 3x), but I am extremely happy with my life, am not on any psychotic meds, and have finally found a treatment for my disability where I can start healing my dislocated body and be able to take care of the house.

Then I hear from my mother this past weekend. A childhood friend of mine’s mom was at an art show my mother was producing, and had told her that my friend, G, had told the mother that I was posting fascist shit and super anti lgbt stuff. I get a phone call from my mother going off the handle at me, as my mother has slid into this cult in the past number of years since Trump. She claims that I must have a finsta, and wants to know what the hell I said to make my friend feel so ‘unsafe’ around me. My mom knows all of my social media accounts and knows all of my newfound views. She doesn’t like them, and jokes all the time about how I’m going to wake up and realize I was brainwashed and come back, but she leaves them alone for the most part. Even how I’m now prolife.

Here’s what was sent:

To live in the stream of holy tradition in the Kingdom of God requires perpetual repentance, revival, and renewal by the Holy Spirit. The true traditionalist is not a person who lives in the past, but one who is open and alert to the voice and activity of the Spirit today. By living in the Spirit he is right up to date and alive to what God is doing now.

I’m so looking forward to being a housewife, however if I have to look at another listing for a house that is a white box with grey flooring I’m going to bury myself in the yard.

A collection of photos from the St Patrick's Day parade in Bristol on Sunday 17th of March. For a celebration of traditional Irish culture, it was quite modern and flamboyant, and not without its references to more progressive political agendas (though I've heard of worse), it was wonderful to see how many people come together to enjoy and appreciate a culture that, inasmuch as it has spread across the globe, remains of distinct localised origin.

This is why I am a photographer, to explore in visuals culture in all its various forms, the good, the bad, and the ugly, exploring what makes communities tick, what brings people together, and what pulls them apart. It is local culture that brings communities together, forging links between people and the places the live in, no matter their origin or background, and if we want local and national cultures to continue playing that role, then we must do everything to preserve their identity and uniqueness through all the cultural convolutions of an increasingly globalised world.
