New Poll on Transgender Rights Shows Americans Are NOT 'Deeply Divided' on the Issue
PJ Media ^ | 06/03/2023 | Rick Moran

Recent polling on transgender rights has been fairly uniform, but you won’t see that reflected in the headlines touting the surveys.

“Americans’ Complex Views on Gender Identity and Transgender Issues,” read a headline from Pew Research last year. In fact, the only issue on which Americans even slightly disagree is whether transgender people should be protected from discrimination. Otherwise, 60% believe a person’s sex is assigned at birth, and even larger percentages say that trans athletes should compete against others of their birth gender.

There’s nothing really “complex” about how Americans feel when it comes to transgender issues. Nor are they really “divided” as NPR reporting on the same poll claims. Whenever the results of a poll disappoint many in the mainstream media, attention is drawn away from the actual results by highlighting whatever divisions are present.

Now, Rasmussen Polling has brushed away all the fluff and asked four basic questions about transgender rights for which the results cannot be questioned or spun. The first is the most basic of all.

Hot Air’s Jazz Shaw quoted the poll, “Do you agree or disagree with this statement: ‘There are two genders, male and female’?” Seventy-one percent agreed with the statement, including 57% who “strongly” agreed. That included 57% of Democrats.

In fact, the results have barely changed since the original kerfluffle over J.K. Rowling’s comment that there are only two genders caused trans activists’ heads to explode. But some scientists have gotten very busy trying to redefine the biology of gender so the jury is still out on how long our definition of gender will reflect actual science and not pseudo-science.

There were some equally lopsided opinions about other hot-button transgender issues.

“Several states have recently enacted legislation prohibiting transgender treatment for minors. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Americans approve of legislation making it illegal to perform sex-change surgery on minors,” the poll analysis said.

It added, “Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Americans approve of laws making it illegal to give hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to minors, including 59% who strongly approve.”

Only 71% agreed that there are only two genders? Not good news. Denial just ain’t a river in Egypt.

If you watch the movie “What is a Woman” you will understand why 29% or so believe otherwise. It is free for this weekend. If you haven’t seen it yet, please try to make time to do so. You may think you know how these people think, but you have absolutely no idea how bad it is until you watch that movie. It’s a definite eye-opener.

Two sexes, no genders. I realize that’s trite but it beats trying to explain how a rubber boot fetish makes you a separate class of human being.

transgenderism will wither and die when Democrats lose at the polls. Grooming in public education is a potent wedge issue.

60% believe a person’s sex is assigned at birth . . . .


With a number that low one can only conclude mass delusion and/or stupidity reign in our midst.

It is shocking that 40% of the populas does not know the difference between male and female. It is more likely that 40% of the citizenry are witlessly herded by the tripe paraded by media and woke politicians.

I’d look at it like this. They poll 100 people, 50 liberal people, 50 normal people. 50 normal people believe your sex is assigned at birth. 21 of the liberals do and the other 29 are.... your standard liberal.

The other 29% also believe that Biden won the 2020 election since his fan base is so huge! They also happen to be communistic democrats (commiecrat) who would sell their mother's soul to further their political agenda....

“Gay pride flags flying at all of our embassies worldwide.”

Why choose the rainbow, which has nothing to do with “PRIDE”. Was it because it attracts children, or because it is a religious symbol, or is it just pretty?

“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”

The people who don’t agree there are only two sexes are trying to keep their Biden Supreme Court eligibility intact.

Remember Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition?

The Rainbow Coalition was an antiracist, anticlass multicultural movement founded April 4, 1969 in Chicago, Illinois by Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party, along with William “Preacherman” Fesperman of the Young Patriots Organization and José Cha Cha Jiménez, founder of the Young Lords. It was the first of several 20th century black-led organizations to use the “rainbow coalition” concept.

We are "deeply divided" from the ruling class on this issue.

First question I got from everyone (liberal, conservative, or whatever), when I announced that I had gotten a new puppy was:

“Is it male or female?”

If it’s good enough for puppies, why not people?

Oh brother! Thanks for the memories, completely forgot the Rainbow Coalition. So the “Pride” community stole the rainbow from Jesse Jackson, who stole it from God? It’s like a cobbled together rag-tag group of misfits looking for their pot of gold.
