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.



Iām not offended. I just find it ironic that will I have supported LGBT right my entire life all the sudden I am anti-lgbt in the eyes of crazy extremists who have turned this into a grandstanding issue that has little to do with transpeople, and is all about egostical nutbags who think this is a battle of āgood vs evilā.
Iām sick of being around people to revel in foaming at the mouth anger over these issues, who want to go around accusing everyone of being āevilā or āgoodā on an issue that the vast majority of people do not care about and has zero impact on their lives. Just like you trying to morally condemn me here, for not being on āyour sideā. When I am, but you are so blinded by your righteousness you fail to see that.
because you dontā care about lgbt people, you just care about using them to faff your own moralizing ego off about. I have worked in theatre and other community orgs, and iāve had a lot of experience with lgbt people.
and most of them want you to leave them the fuck alone and stop using them as a political prop. just like your average working-class latino person doesnāt give a shit about being ālatinxā, and yet a bunch of self important rich douchebags insist that latino is āproblematicā. but your average latino person would like better economic opportunities for themselves and their kids.
I remember being here before 20 years ago about gay marriage. I was fully in support of it, but because I didnāt take some crazy position about it being a constitutional amendment, many moralizing nutbags at my college told me I was a homophobic asshole. My position was that the states will sort it out over time, and I was 100% right.
Trans rights and issue will sort themselves out and youāll move on to another issue to moralize about.
