The following report is from The Pew Research Center:
Meanwhile, a rising share of Americans say they know someone who is transgender. This analysis accompanies an essay that examines the experiences and views of trans and nonbinary adults based on a series of focus groups.
Adults under 30 are more likely than older adults to be trans or nonbinary. Some 5.1% of adults younger than 30 are trans or nonbinary, including 2.0% who are a trans man or trans woman and 3.0% who are nonbinary – that is, they are neither a man nor a woman or aren’t strictly one or the other. (Due to rounding, subtotals may not add up to the total.) This compares with 1.6% of 30- to 49-year-olds and 0.3% of those 50 and older who are trans or nonbinary.
The share of U.S. adults who are transgender is particularly high among adults younger than 25. In this age group, 3.1% are a trans man or a trans woman, compared with just 0.5% of those ages 25 to 29. There is no statistically significant difference between these two age groups in the share who are nonbinary or the total share who are trans or nonbinary.
A Rising Share Of Adults Say They Know A Transgender Person
While a relatively small share of U.S. adults are transgender or nonbinary, many say they know someone who is. More than four-in-ten (44%) say they personally know someone who is trans and 20% know someone who is nonbinary.
The share of adults who know someone who is transgender has increased from 42% in 2021 and from 37% in 2017.
Today, roughly half of adults younger than 30 and those 30 to 49 say they know a trans person – higher than the share among older Americans. Still, a third of those 65 and older report knowing someone who is trans.
Democrats and independents who lean to the Democratic Party are more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to say they know a transgender person, but Republicans are catching up. As recently as June 2021, 48% of Democrats said they knew a trans person, compared with 35% of Republicans – a gap of 13 percentage points. Today, 48% of Democrats and 42% of Republicans say this – a gap of just 6 points.
About a quarter of U.S. adults say they have a trans friend (27%), while 13% say they have a co-worker who is trans and 10% say they have a transgender family member. About one-in-ten adults (9%) say they know a trans person who is younger than 18.
When asked if they know someone who doesn’t identify as a man or a woman, 20% of U.S. adults say they do. The share is higher among younger adults, those living in urban and suburban communities, those with higher levels of education, and Democrats.
Most Americans (79%) say they have heard at least a little about people not being a man or a woman and instead describing themselves as not having a gender or using terms such as “nonbinary” or “gender fluid” to describe their gender. But only 26% say they have heard a lot about this concept.
Young adults are far more likely to be familiar with this than their older counterparts. About four-in-ten adults younger than 30 (42%) say they have heard a lot about being nonbinary, compared with 31% of those 30 to 49, 20% of those 50 to 64 and 12% of those 65 and older. Still, even older adults have at least some passing familiarity with the idea: Two-thirds of those 65 and older say they have heard at least a little.
A 2021 Pew Research Center survey found that 26% of U.S. adults personally knew someone who goes by gender-neutral pronouns such as “they” instead of “he” or “she,” up from 18% in 2018.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[9] Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. [10] This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.Jeremiah 13:9-10
1.6% is a small number of itself, but relatively huge when you realize that there are millions of these vile people walking around; and, at its current pace, will surely increase as more and more children are recruited, bewitched, and groomed into this lifestyle.
Transgenderism has become the new trend and form of rebellion against authority. What did not even seem like it was that long ago, it used to be the kids and young adults who went emo and goth, and smoked cigarettes under the bleachers. Now younger adults and teens are doing something similar, but the changes they inflict on themselves via drugs and surgery are irreversible.
As this abomination and plague continues to spread, the media and elites love to fan the flames of this as it not only causes division and chaos in society, it also acts as a great form of population control and a self-sterilizing act.
But, at the heart of why transgenderism and sodomy continue to flourish and be promoted, is because the masses continue to affirm it and acknowledge, and choose to accept it. They might not necessarily like it or understand it, but the ‘what you do is your business’ mentality is what has killed this country.
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jeremiah 4:22
However, if you recall the Nazis and the mass-genocides they performed namely on Jews, of that group “homosexuals” were also gassed and incinerated. I mention that because as the media and controlled opposition works tirelessly to “ignite the right” and so-called “patriot” movements, aggressive acts against the woke and sodomites will increase. Though, the Lord’s fiery judgments are already in motion and this nation is set for a bloody and chaotic collapse.
Are You Awake? Are You Ready For What’s Coming? Do You Loathe The Honeycomb??
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Jacob, I LOVE the Old Testament as well as the New Testament, but I need answers because you have false converts who’ll always bash and ignore the Old Testament with animosity-saying things like “the Old Testament God is mean but the New Testament God is nicer and more loving.” I know that’s false to the highest degree, and I need scripture to counter that, please.
[15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
[11] Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. [12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (1 Corinthians 10:1-14).
[39] Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. [46] For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. [47] But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? (John 5:39, 46-47).
Study out ‘covering’, clothed, apparel etc. in the Bible…it will lead you to much more. The Old Testament was a different dispensation before this happened: Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Galatians, Colossians and Hebrews have more to say about this & the Law our Schoolmaster which kept them until the new birth and the Spirit as in John 14-17 and so forth of this dispensation came changing the dispensation of God’s grace.
–
For another thing, the word of God was largely spoken by the prophets in the Old Testament & access to the Torah, the books of Moses, Psalms etc was limited (as with them ‘discovering’ the word of God in the Temple of Solomon in the days of Josiah…that happened repeatedly that they forgot & the people were ignorant as well as idolatrous & self-driven, -justifying etc)…..we are without excuse today, having the 66 books of the completed & perfect word of God at our disposal.
–
Actually, they were without excuse, too, because the Lord sent his prophets to thunder his warnings to them…and finally to foretell the coming judgment. But they hated, persecuted & killed them…..same treatment as the holy priesthood of this dispensation & our Lord received at their hands.

Am 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Am 3:4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Am 3:5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
Am 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Am 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Am 3:8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

Mt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Lu 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Who would not? THEY would not…. 2Pe 3:7-18 KJB/AV But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 ¶ But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 ¶ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 ¶ Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2Pe 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

It comes down to the fact that God is the faithful & true….and thankfully merciful as well as just: he’s no liar like that old father of lies…and he will keep his word.
