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.

    This^ We need to understand that the phrasing of these polls, as well as the bully pulpit narrative is weighing this HEAVILY right now. The parents rights stuff is framed in terms of 'liberty' & 'freedom'. But if presented with the reality of abuses that happen when these policies are enacted - you'd easily see 90+% approval for more progressive policies. It's all in how it's wrapped up, and the average burgerlander doesn't have the time to be bothered to understand policy and repercussions.

    Make no mistake, we have a high degree of general approval and support, and we need to be visible and interacting with people for them to see that we're not a stump speech talking point.
