Hard to say. Could be many reasons. As far as I know non binary means folks who don't identify as either male or female. People are generally sheep espicially young women, it's like in the 90s early 00s half of all high school and college girls identified as Bisexual, why? Because it was cool as all female celebrities were doing just this, now we see many female celebrities identifying themselves as neither male nor female choosing they as a pronoun. Identifying oneself as straight white Christian is not the in thing and you enjoy white privledge and are a heteo normative oppressor so by identifying as non-binary like with previously identify as Bisexual like the other new genders or sexualities you can be apart of the while LGBTQ thing and be unique and special while still being able to enjoy Hetrosexual relationships. Being LGBTQ helps you gain diversity points when applying to college which will help if your white or Asian.

This shit isn't natural and is a social contagion.
I have one kid left on high school and the school provided the same survey (disguised as a health form) to my kid asking what the student's preferred name is, what the student's preferred pronouns are, if the parents are aware, and if the teachers are permitted to use those terms in front of parents or if it should be kept confidential between the student and staff.
The number of nonbinary students didn't just magically go up, more and more students are coming out though

First what are the raw numbers? You would just need to go from 1 to 6 to get a stat like that.
I think the article is claiming 45% are gender confused. My take is mostly they have been gender confused and it has been made really Cool to be gender confused and Special.
I'd be interested in the break down of pre and post puberty students as elementary and middle school students were included.
Basically if you advertise then people will buy useless shit. That is what is happening for the most part here.I have a friend who is gay. Last Friday he celebrated his birthday, and we went to a gay bar.
What surprised me is how cool the people there was. I even liked how gayish people dressed, because it looked quite good on them.
Even when I'm not really attracted to guys, I just felt more comfortable with that people than with most girls I dated.
So I can understand why some go that road.
Maths is easy. If you had 1 “non-binary” kid yesterday and you have 5 “non-binary” kids today and one who is 82% sure, but not quite, that’s a 582% increase. Ell oh ell! Actually that’s only a 482% increase. Since the first kid was already there, they don’t count toward the increase. But don’t worry. They’re still in the minority. They’re not taking over or anything. Most of them just want to be treated with respect. That’s not so hard. Ell oh ell!
From 1 to 582 maybe, out of tens of thousands of students in the state? Most likely, they weren't keeping stats on it before. Whatever, it's still a very small minority. People use percentages to try to make a point, when percentages really have little importance when you look at the actual numbers.
Low numbers, low standards of proof, and social status attached to being part of a minority group.
It's surprising it's that low, really.
Reporting. Do you think there were no gay people in the military in the 20th century?
The numbers: 239, up from 35, are a small fraction of the 158,232 students enrolled in that district. 0.15%, up from 0.022%.
Don't be such a snowflake.
Kids do anything to be in the 'hip' crowd
In my more traditional years of schooling there were gay guys but even before they came out everyone knew
My brother's years I think heterosexuality was the least normal form optionProbably the same way Biden won the election.
Because there doing stupid shit like, I like sewing and therefore am no longer male and similarly stupid leaps in logic
Probably just taking the piss to get a rise out of the teachers
You should stop reading RT.
