Most Americans believe that itās a āproblemā that Republicans are transphobic.
A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a āproblemā for either party. 44% said that transphobia was āa major problemā among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was āa minor problem.ā Only 32% of respondents said it wasnāt a problem.
Transphobia was the second most likely issue to be labeled a problem by respondents, after āhostility toward immigrants.ā āTolerance of political violence,ā āconspiracy thinking,ā āwhite supremacy,ā āhomophobia,ā and āfascismā followed closely behind.
Oddly, 40% of respondents said that ātransgender ideologyā was āa major problemā for Republicans, and another 20% said it was āa minor problem.ā 41% said that they didnāt think it was a problem at all for Republicans.
I felt one huge let down when a parent told me that they voted for Trump because of trans athletes in school sports.
That was when I knew that they had another person in their life other than my other parent. They are still married. And this outside person is influencing one of them. I had suspected it, but now I see the influence this person has over my parent is scary.
