Two-thirds of American people are opposed to trans women competing with natural women in women’s sporting events, according to a new study from the University of Chicago.
Specifically, a large majority in the NORC at U. Chicago surveys ( formerly known as the National Opinion Research Center ) said trans- women really “never” or “in unique cases” get to engage against” transgender” women, according to the New York Post.
The number applies almost as much to transgender women as to transgender people.
Ironically, despite trans- females having natural advantages over natural females in competitions, over half of those surveyed even said trans- males “never or often” should compete with natural males.
In addition, approximately third think young people ( age 18- 29 ) are “influenced by popular culture to identify with an LGBTQ+ identity”.
Nevertheless, the survey indicates Americans are very accepting of the LGBTQ+ community with over three- fourths favoring anti- discrimination laws for gay/lesbian Americans, and related numbers favoring equal for bisexual and trans/non- binary individuals.
Other survey results:
— Regarding” sexual relations between two adults of the same sex”, almost three- fourths said it’s” not an issue/sometimes wrong”.
— Over 80 percent said they “approve” of same- sex relationships or” think it’s all right” ( but not for themselves ).
— Strong majorities said it “would not make a difference” if a” well- qualified” gay/lesbian/bi/trans/non- binary person was their political party’s nominee for Congress.
— Strong majorities also said the government is paying” too much/about the right amount” of attention to gay/lesbian/bi/trans/non- binary individuals.
— Almost two- thirds said they would not be “very upset” or consider it a “non- issue” if their child came out as gay or lesbian.
— A majority of respondents ( 54 percent ) said if a student comes out as transgender or non- binary, schools should” not tell the parents except in rare circumstances” or not tell parents at all.
