If you guess California, you're wrong.
Washington or Oregon? Nope.
It is my home state of Minnesota, with a rate 50% above the national average.
That really shouldn't surprise us, I suppose. Transgenderism in America these days seems to be associated with white liberals, and Minnesota has so many white progressives and AWFLs concentrated in the Twin Cities that the most common name in the state should be "Karen."
The Williams School of Law at UCLA surveys people on this issue--they have a focus on LGBTQIA2Setc. issues, You can learn a lot of not-so-shocking tidbits, such as the prevalence of transgenderism among teens--25% of transgender people are teenagers, now, and you all know why--it is the "in" thing, and progressives are pushing alphabet ideology hard in the schools. Especially here in Minnesota.
Reminder that Tim Walz signed multiple laws in 2023 that made Minnesota a "sanctuary state" for children to receive sex changes.

Two days ago at the DNC, he was bragging that Minnesota is a safe haven for trans people.pic.twitter.com/7SA2xfcAlg
Tim Walz is all about the trans issue. He signed a law making it illegal to provide counseling that wasn't "affirming" in the state, and made Minnesota a "sanctuary" for parents who kidnap their children from other states that ban "gender affirming care." A parent can violate a court order or even take a child over whom they don't have custody and bring them to our state to get sterilized and mutilated.
Nice.
Minnesota Public Radio had a discussion on the report, and it is everything you would expect. Lots of smugness and pride that Minnesota ranks at the top of this dubious chart.
NINA MOINI: Sure. And Kat, when you saw that Minnesota has the highest percentage of adults who identify as trans in the country, was that surprising to you? Or what was your reaction, I wonder?
KAT ROHN: Yeah, I mean, I guess it wasn't especially surprising to me. I think, in a lot of ways, my first reaction was one of pride. I think what it tells me, without digging into all of the complexities involved, is, one, that folks within the state of Minnesota feel more comfortable sharing their identity. And I think that's something that really reflects a culture where folks feel more welcomed and where they feel like they have that freedom to be themselves.
I think the other piece that it is starting to reflect is the fact that we have seen movements of transgender people and LGBTQ people writ large across this country moving towards states that are both more supportive from a policy landscape and create environments that are more welcoming for members of the LGBTQ community. And I think that shifting policy landscape is, to a degree, reflected in some of those numbers.
NINA MOINI: And Jody, let me know if I don't have this correct. But the data, that comes from 2021 through 2023?
JODY HERMAN: That's correct, yes.
NINA MOINI: OK. And so that was interesting to me because the trans refuge law here in Minnesota was signed into law, I believe, in 2023, Kat. So do you think that those numbers may have increased over time, to your point about people wanting to come to states where they can receive health care?
KAT ROHN: Yeah, I think absolutely. I mean, for one, the sweep of anti-LGBTQ laws that we saw at a state by state level really increased greatly from about 2017 or so through our current moment, and I think that is reflected and captured in the data. And certainly, since the passage of the trans refuge law here in Minnesota in the spring of 2023, our organization has recorded hundreds of folks who have moved to the state as a direct result of policy change, and we suspect that number is higher. So I do think that is probably an undercount in the ways in which people are moving, but certainly reflects some of the broader trends in how LGBTQ folks are making choices about where they live.
Anti-LGBT laws? That is ridiculous. Many states are restricting experimental and dangerous medical treatments for minors, but that isn't anti-LGBT.
You see how the distortions go. You are a bad person if you question even the most insane voodoo practices.
Progressivism depends on people rejecting common sense and embracing the delusions of every insane person who lives on Earth. Blue states, which pride themselves on "compassion," practice child sacrifice such as this, encourage mental illness, and collect homeless encampments where people are left to rot.
And the progressives pat themselves on the back for being so nice.
Margaret and I are leaving Minnesota sometime next year. And while Michigan, our destination, is nowhere near as conservative as we would like, it is hardly this insane.
If adults want to play dress up, that's fine. As long as they aren't lurking in women's rooms or leering at teenage girls in locker rooms. Live your life, I suppose, although I still believe gender dysphoria is a treatable mental illness.
But alphabet ideology is destroying a generation of kids. We should all be fighting it.
