About 69% of Americans hold this view, up from 62% in 2021. Only just over a quarter of Americans, 26%, now support athletes playing on the team of their professed gender identity, down from 34% two years ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In practice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/garland-refuses-to-answer-if-biological-males-competing-against-women-is-unfair-a-difficult-question\/\" title=\"Garland Refuses To Answer If Biological Males Competing Against Women Is Unfair: \u2018A Difficult Question\u2019\">biological males competing<\/a> on women\u2019s sports teams has resulted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/more-americans-now-say-trans-athletes-should-compete-on-team-of-biological-sex-gallup-poll\/\" title=\"Gallup Poll: More Americans support trans athletes competing on teams based on biological sex.\">males winning championship titles<\/a> over their female competitors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The poll also found that a larger share of Americans, 55%, say it is morally wrong to change one\u2019s gender \u2014 up from 51% in 2021. Interestingly, the dip in Americans who say trans-identifying athletes should get to compete on the team matching their gender identity comes at the same time more people say they know a trans-identifying person personally, according to the Gallup poll. About 39% of Americans say they know someone personally who says they are transgender, up from 31% in 2021.<\/p>\n<h3>Republicans and Democrats Split on the Issue<\/h3>\n<p>A huge majority of Republicans, 93%, are opposed to letting a trans-identifying athlete choose which team to play on, male or female. Democrats are split on the issue, with 48% supportive, and 47% against trans-identifying athletes playing on the team of their gender identity. In 2021, Democrats had a more defined majority, 55%, who were supportive. A bigger majority of independents are opposed this year, 67%.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns Over Medical Procedures on Trans-Identifying Children<\/h3>\n<p>Over the last two years, conservatives have sounded the alarm on both biological males in women\u2019s sports and medical procedures being performed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/does-gender-affirming-care-for-trans-kids-actually-prevent-suicide-heres-what-the-data-say\/\" title=\"Does \u2018Gender-Affirming Care\u2019 For Trans Kids Actually Prevent Suicide? Here\u2019s What The Data Say\">trans-identifying children<\/a>. Minors who say they identify as a new gender can obtain puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries as part of their gender transition. Hundreds of teen girls in the U.S., some as young as 12, have gotten elective, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-childrens-hospital-performs-sex-change-procedures-on-children-as-young-as-11-report\/\" title=\"Texas Children's Hospital does sex change surgeries on kids as young as 11, says report.\">gender-related double mastectomies<\/a> to remove their healthy breasts over the last few years. Meanwhile, it is more popular than ever for youth to adopt new gender identities. An estimated 300,000 minors aged 13 to 17 identified as transgender as of last year.<\/p>\n<h3>Legal Battles Over Trans-Identifying Athletes<\/h3>\n<p>Biological males competing on women\u2019s sports teams have already resulted in males winning championship titles over their female competitors. In 2019, three Connecticut high school girls who ran track filed a federal discrimination lawsuit claiming the state\u2019s policy on trans-identifying athletes has cost them first place spots and potentially college scholarships. The three track athletes have faced legal setbacks, but they are still fighting in federal court.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1686769858594000&#038;usg=AOvVaw29MU9w81PAp3j3uHg4Fp5m\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The poll results are from Gallup\u2019s annual Values and Beliefs survey, which was conducted from May 1 to 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Gallup poll reveals that more Americans now believe that trans-identifying athletes should compete on teams that align with their biological sex.
