US opposes Trans Ideology, says WaPo survey.

Majority of Americans Reject Left-Wing Beliefs on Transgenderism

A recent Washington Post-KFF poll has revealed that a large majority of Americans reject left-wing beliefs on transgenderism and support bans on sex-change procedures for children. The poll found that nearly 70% of Americans oppose giving puberty blockers to children, and almost 60% oppose giving transgender hormone treatments to teenagers. At least 11 states have taken efforts to “prohibit pediatric transgender treatments,” and Florida is on track to join them, with state lawmakers passing a bill that prohibits puberty blockers and sex-change surgeries for children.

Support for Ron DeSantis’s Position on Transgenderism

Despite the media’s criticism of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for signing a bill that prohibits schools from teaching young children about sexual orientations, majorities of both Floridians and Americans in general support the law’s provisions. A whopping majority of respondents—nearly 80%—told the Post pollsters that teachers’ discussing “trans identity” with students in kindergarten to third grade was “inappropriate.” Other polls, including one from Morning Consult, have found that Americans explicitly agree with DeSantis’s “Don’t Say Gay” provisions.

Opposition to Transgenderism Movement

The poll findings were just as damaging for the transgenderism movement. Nearly 70% of Americans say that biological men who identify as women should not be allowed to compete in women’s high school, college, and professional sports. Most Americans, moreover, reject the left’s claim that sex can differ from “gender identity,” with nearly 60% saying that biology determines a person’s gender.

Despite most Americans’ opinions, Biden administration officials and other Democrats have embraced far-left positions on transgenderism. After the House of Representatives last month passed a bill to ban biological men from competing in women’s sports, President Joe Biden called the bill “discriminatory” and “vowed to veto it if needed.” California Democrats, meanwhile, advanced a bill that will let the state take custody of children who want to change genders.
