The majority of Americans want protection for transgender people, new poll shows
Tumblr media
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".
This is a shortened version of an article originally published over at Crossdreamers.

My dad was talking about how ""woke culture"" wanted to change Thanksgiving. Namely they wanted to switch from turkey to ham and skip it every three years.
He was fine with ham part.

"Zionism" is to the Left what "Woke" is to the Right--a minority's own term conceived of in relation to the prejudice they face, taken by the majority, twisted, and used as a pejorative, rather than come to terms with the bigotry that originally created it.
