NEW REPORT about Americans' views on gender identity and #trans issues is out now. This data is from a survey of over 3,000 adults conducted last fall. Here's what we found. (1/8) #LGBTQ#Transgenderism
True or false: "Transgender women are biological women." About one in four zoomers said "true." The majority of people said "false," regardless of age. (2/8)
Same question broken down by political orientation. The majority of respondents within each category said "false." Over a third of adults who identified as "very liberal" said "true." (3/8)
How much do you agree or disagree: "Teachers should teach their students about gender identity and sexual orientation in elementary school." About half of surveyed zoomers and millennials agreed to some extent. (4/8)
Same question broken down by political orientation. Over 72% of "very liberal" adults agreed to some extent compared to only about 20% of those who identified as "conservative." The "very liberal" group was relatively much more likely to *strongly* agree with the statement. (5/8)
How much do you agree or disagree: "I believe that biological males who identify as women should be allowed to compete in women's sports." The majority of respondents in each generational cohort disagreed to some extent. (6/8)
Same question broken down by political orientation. "Very liberal" respondents were far more likely to strongly agree compared to other groups, even those identifying as "liberal." Interestingly, "very conservative" adults agreed more than "conservative" ones. (7/8)
