Since taking office, President Donald Trump has signed several executive orders related to transgender people. These have included orders banning trans women and girls from women’s sports and ending federal funding for health care related to gender transitions for youth.
A new Pew Research Center survey finds that majorities of U.S. adults favor or strongly favor laws and policies that:
-
Require trans athletes to compete on teams that match their sex assigned at birth (66%)
-
Ban health care professionals from providing care related to gender transitions for minors (56%)
-
The survey also finds that more Americans support than oppose laws and policies that:
-
Require trans people to use public bathrooms that match their sex at birth, rather than the gender they identify with (49% favor or strongly favor, 26% oppose or strongly oppose)
-
Make it illegal for public school districts to teach about gender identity in elementary schools (47% favor or strongly favor, 34% oppose or strongly oppose)
