A new poll conducted by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation, found tht a majority of Americans reject the idea that gender can be different from sex at birth, a core premise of the gender agenda, as we call it. For American adults, 57 percent believed that gender was determined by sex at birth, against 43 percent who thought that, as with the trans ideology, gender could differ from one’s sex at birth. And, the majority of respondents, between 62 and 66 percent, believed that males who identify as transgender girls and women should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports.
While these are figures of a numerical majority, notice that there is a large minority who support the present trans ideology, something which would have been unheard of even a decade or so again. It will be interesting to see what happens with these numbers over the next few years.

“According to a recent poll conducted by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation, a majority of Americans reject the idea that gender can be different from sex at birth.
The poll, conducted from November 10 to December 1, found that among adults, 57% believed that gender was determined by sex at birth, while 43% believed that gender could differ from one’s sex at birth. Respondents also opposed other talking points promoted by transgender activists, such as hormones for minors, participation in sports based on gender identity, and teaching gender identity to young children.
Alyssa Wells, a 29-year-old behavior therapist and survey participant, expressed her concerns about transgenderism, stating that “My concern with transgender is mostly with the children.”
She added, “We can’t vote until we’re a certain age, we can’t smoke, drink or whatever, but we can change our bodies’ anatomy and how it works? It just doesn’t seem like that’s okay to me.”
However, most respondents supported legislation banning discrimination against transgender people, with support ranging from 65% to 71% in areas such as housing, medicine, health insurance, work, education, and others.
Participants also widely supported counseling for minors who believe they may be transgender, but opposed minors receiving hormonal treatments under medical supervision. The survey found that 68% of adults opposed puberty blockers for children aged 10-14, and 58% opposed hormones for children aged 15-17, while 62% and 66%, respectively, supported counseling for those age groups.
Most respondents also opposed teachers discussing gender identity in the classroom, with 77% opposing it from kindergarten to third grade, 70% for fourth and fifth grade, and 52% for middle school. Only 36% opposed such lessons for high schoolers, and 64% supported the lessons.
The vast majority of respondents, between 62% and 66%, believed that males who identify as transgender girls and women should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports at youth, high school, college, and professional levels. Many respondents compared transgender athletes to those who use steroids, citing the advantages they have over biological women.
Overall, the poll indicates that while many Americans support legislation to protect transgender people from discrimination, they oppose teaching gender identity to young children and allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.”
