The highest support, 76%, is for requiring transgender athletes to play on teams that match the sex they were assigned at birth.
Sixty-one percent favor banning “gender-affirming” care such as hormone therapy or surgery for transgender minors under 18.
Both are more popular then fucking cutting taxes. Anti trans policy is popular.
More than two-thirds, 68%, favor allowing parents to make medical decisions about their minor children, including whether or not to vaccinate them against measles, polio, and other disease.
People value being able to not vax their children more then they value parents being able to provide care for trans kids. Hormones should be banned but vaccines should be left up to parents. Naked hypocrisy.
Being on puberty blockers for too long can be detrimental to mental health so hormone treatment is often started early, after a few years of blockers. Blockers buy time if the child is unsure.
Surgery is incredibly rare except for top surgery which generally starts at age 16.
Top surgery is still rare imo
this study found 82 top surgeries were done on trans minors in 2019. That seems rare to me.
But very common for cis girls with rich parents.
