conservative-led legislatures of more than 30 states, a new poll shows that not only does the general public oppose such trans sports bills, but that majority reaches across the political aisle.A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found that a majority of Democrats, Independents and Republicans do not support legislation that prohibits the participation of trans student-athletes on teams that align with their gender identity.
According to the poll, 67% of all adults are against such legislation, but only 29% of Republicans support the measures.Those results don’t necessarily mean that Republicans inherently believe that trans student-athletes should be allowed to play on teams that reflect their gender identity, though.
