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.
I gotta think that if one of our two major parties was actually defending the trans community via messaging and policy this would be different. The right runs their anti-trans messaging basically unopposed except by individuals on social media and chronically underfunded advocacy groups.
the right wing has created a situation in america where your average person and certainly the bourgeois piggies in the government are absolutely terrified of triggering them and facing a backlash.anytime anybody criticizes anything right wingers or white rich dudes do there are droves and droves of boot licking peons harassing you online over it. you're not allowed to call trump supporters nazis, because somehow that's worse than being a fucking nazi. you're not allowed to criticize corporations for enslaving people, because somehow that's worse than enslaving people. people walk on eggshells not to upset these people because through years of gaslighting and crybullying they've scared people of speaking out. and the democrats, not that they give a shit about trans people, but they can't debate the right on transgender issues because they know exactly what will happen to them if they do and they're too cowardly to deal with it
