Most Americans believe that it’s a “problem” that Republicans are transphobic.
A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a “problem” for either party. 44% said that transphobia was “a major problem” among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was “a minor problem.” 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 “hostility toward immigrants.” “Tolerance of political violence,” “conspiracy thinking,” “white supremacy,” “homophobia,” and “fascism” followed closely behind.
Oddly, 40% of respondents said that “transgender ideology” was “a major problem” for Republicans, and another 20% said it was “a minor problem.” 41% said that they didn’t think it was a problem at all for Republicans.
Well, “Americans” are right about that.
Fuck, I barely hear anything from Democrats or the left about trans except to A) acknowledge they exist and B) they have that right to exist.
Nearly every conversation about trans seems to be something initiated by the crazy, unhinged out of touch right wing. Same thing when it comes to things like furries and supposed litter boxes in schools…
It seems they moved on to feverishly thinking about trans nearly 24/7 now that gay marriage is no longer as politically divisive as it once appeared…they keep on trying to cast everyone else as being weird with dumb phrases like “what is a woman? can you define what a woman even is?” and other such tripe, trying to paint Democrats as being out of touch.
I seem to recall a bunch of conservative Democrats insisting Transgender voters cost the party the 2024 election.
