Sorry haters, Americans increasingly support trans people
Amid rollbacks of federal protections for transgender individuals, a new survey finds Americans have grown increasingly more supportive of rights for transgender people. Sixty-two percent of Americans say they have become more supportive of rights for transgender people over the last five years, compared to just 25% who say they have grown more opposed. Despite the Trump Administration’s ban on transgender personnel joining or enlisting in the military not in their assigned gender at birth, the survey finds more than six in ten (63%) Americans, including an increasing number of Republicans (47%), Americans who view Trump favorably (47%) and majorities of almost every major religious group support transgender military service. The nationally representative survey was conducted by PRRI, a nonpartisan research organization, among 1,100 adults between April 9 and April 20, 2019. Increasing and Widespread Support for Transgender Rights Support for transgender rights has grown across partisan lines with majorities
