The latest poll from Gallup suggests that an overwhelming majority of Americans remain opposed to so-called “transgender” people participating in sports for the wrong gender, despite ongoing social and political efforts to normalize such practices.
As the Washington Free Beacon reports, the poll shows that a staggering 69 percent of respondents believe people who identify as “transgender” should remain in the sports that correspond to their actual biological gender. This marks a 7-point increase from a similar survey taken two years prior.
Meanwhile, only about 26 percent of Americans support the idea of transgender people competing on their preferred teams, down from 34 percent who supported this idea last year. The new poll also shows that 55 percent of respondents consider it “morally wrong” to attempt to change one’s gender, marking a 4-point increase from last year.
