The majority of Americans want protection for transgender people, new poll shows
The current onslaught on transgender people in the US is extreme and destructive, and it is easy to get the impression that most Americans have become rabid transphobes. That is in no way the case.
On April 26 Fox News published a poll that showed that for the most part the majority of Americans do not support the Republican “culture war.”
When asked about the most important issue facing the country today, only 1% answered “Wokeness/Transgender issues”.
The fact that the survey saw wokeness and transgender issues as one and the same thing, says a lot about Fox, but the answer says even more about Americans. Transgender people are not seen as a threat.
So what did Americans see as important? “Economy/Jobs” (24%), obviously, followed by “Inflation/Cost of living” (16%) and “Gun control/Gun violence” (12%).
Targeting families with trans kids is seen as a major problem by Americans
60% of the respondents say that school boards banning books is a major problem. There is no call for censorship of LGBTQA books in schools.
57% say that “Families with transgender children being targets of political attacks” is a major problem. The number for Democrats is 69%, Republicans 43%. Let that sink in for a moment: 43% of Republican voters think the transphobia has gone to far.
Mixed views of trans people
This does not mean that a majority of Americans go all in on the transgender side. We have seen this in other polls too. Americans tend to believe that trans people have the right to live their lives in peace and without harassment, but they are skeptical, for instance, of transgender women’s competing in women’s sports (57%).
However, if we look at this from a glass half full perspective, this means that the Republicans have not managed to turn the argument against trans athletes into a broader support for full fledge anti-trans hate, which is good.
The fact that 48% say that “Overly accommodating transgender policies” is “a major problem” can be seen as serious challenge for trans people. It is. On the other hand, 50% see this as a minor problem or not a problem at all, which tells us – again– that a majority of Americans are not buying the Republican driven moral panic.
Conclusion
This merits repeating: A majority of Americans support trans people’s right to live their lives as they see fit. A great majority of Americans do not buy the Republican war against “wokeness”.

One thing that Firefox can’t do is allow me to access my telehealth therapy appointments. Three different platforms now have rejected my use of Firefox. I use Safari instead bc that’s what works and at least it isn’t chrome, but for folks who rightfully use Firefox, be aware that many, if not all, telehealth platforms will not work on Firefox (something about the encryption/security not being up to their standard, I believe; if there are hacks that Firefox gurus know to bypass this, please share with the class?).
Any reason the developers of those sites give that is not 'we're too lazy to check compatibility so we're blocking Firefox' is false.

First person: “See what’s behind this door..!”
(Door has text over it that says “fat girls” while The Toccata and Fugue in D minor plays in the background)
First person: “Noo, is there a bett-”
Second person: “ Yo it’s funny that there’s an entire demographic, of petite women who love bigger men. But because you’ve just ousted yourself, as a cunt, it’s never gonna happen for you mate. You’re really out here body shaming, all these beautiful shawties, big body Bugatti (kiss noise), exquisite; but you’re built like a less cool Bling Bling Boy from Johnny Test. Make it make sense mate. It doesn’t- it really doesn’t. Could’ve kept your mouth shut. But you had to say something. And you even went so far as to put it on the internet. And you thought that was a good idea because-? Please, take yourself elsewhere. Sincerely the entire fucking human race.”
