Most Americans believe that it’s a ā€œproblemā€ that Republicans are transphobic.

A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a ā€œproblemā€ for either party. 44% said that transphobia was ā€œa major problemā€ among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was ā€œa minor problem.ā€ Only 32% of respondents said it wasn’t a problem.

Transphobia was the second most likely issue to be labeled a problem by respondents, after ā€œhostility toward immigrants.ā€ ā€œTolerance of political violence,ā€ ā€œconspiracy thinking,ā€ ā€œwhite supremacy,ā€ ā€œhomophobia,ā€ and ā€œfascismā€ followed closely behind.

Oddly, 40% of respondents said that ā€œtransgender ideologyā€ was ā€œa major problemā€ for Republicans, and another 20% said it was ā€œa minor problem.ā€ 41% said that they didn’t think it was a problem at all for Republicans.

    Only 32% of respondents said it wasn’t a problem.

    I’m getting so sick of seeing that same number in every ā€œDo you hate thy neighbor?ā€-type of survey

      That’s my go to response with anyone saying ā€œyou aren’t conservative/republican/christian/religiousā€ to me. No, sorry, I have better things to do than hate people I don’t know.
