Growing shares of Americans believe that a person’s gender is determined by their sex assigned at birth, according to a new Pew Research Center survey, which finds major differences by religion on this question and others about transgender issues.
Among U.S. adults overall, six-in-ten now say that whether a person is a man or a woman is determined by their sex assigned at birth. This figure is even higher among White evangelicals (87%) and Black Protestants (70%). Among Catholics, the share who say a person’s gender cannot differ from sex at birth has risen from 52% in 2021 to 62% this year.
By contrast, a majority of religiously unaffiliated Americans (58%) say a person’s gender can be different from their sex assigned at birth, with atheists (76%) and agnostics (67%) especially likely to hold this view. The survey was conducted among Americans of all religious backgrounds, including Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus. But it did not obtain enough respondents from non-Christian religious groups to report separately on their responses.
.. White evangelicals are the only religious group analyzed in which a majority say that society has gone too far in accepting transgender people. Members of other Christian traditions – including White non-evangelical Protestants, Black Protestants and Catholics – are more divided over whether society has gone too far, not far enough, or been “about right” in accepting transgender people.
Most White evangelical Protestants (71%) say that views about transgender issues and people who don’t identify as a man or a woman are changing too quickly. Half or fewer of other Christians and roughly three-in-ten religious “nones” share this perspective....
White evangelicals are a heavily Republican group, while religious “nones” are heavily Democratic; overall, Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to say that society has gone too far in accepting people who are transgender. Likewise, younger people account for a relatively large share of religiously unaffiliated adults and are more likely to believe that society has not gone far enough in accepting transgender people.
great point
Not good overall. 2022 in US:
Dated, and in Latin America, but:

True. "Well, Joe, shall be say its a a boy this time?" “Assigned” sounds like a recruits years ago being assigned a Protestant religious ID since he did not say he was Catholic or Jewish.
But according to Pew only about 6% of Blacks falls into the Evangelical camp.

Right! And when they do you will never see Barbary doves pairing up with crows.
It’s been a campaign of deception since the start because gender doesn’t have Sweet Fanny Adams to do with sex.
Sex is a biological distinction.
Gender is a grammatical distinction.
And nobody except English-speaking monoglots should fall for that gag because English is the only major language that uses natural gender exclusively. So if you flunked English grammar, you might be tempted to think sex and gender are synonymous, when in truth what commonality there might be is purely coincidental and the coincidences are primarily limited to English.
Yes, yet atheists who claim to go by science salute the flag of Sodom which their movement is one of rebellion against God.
Anarchists are generally non-religious and are frequently anti-religious
and overall atheists are overwhelmingly liberal in many moral/social views:Footnotes
They only go back to 2017, so the trend appears to be moving back the other way. The fad is running its course.
If history is an indicator, toxic masculinity, whatever that is, will be the new thing.
Basically rape and pillage vikings are tuning up.

Sex is not *assigned* at birth!
We are not androgynous beings where the doctor can randomly assign sexual identity with no just cause.
He looks and states the obvious.
I refuse to use the Newspeak word gender.
Or it has been hacked:
https://www.etymonline.com/word/gender :
gender (n.) c. 1300, "kind, sort, class, a class or kind of persons or things sharing certain traits," from Old French gendre, genre "kind, species; character; gender" (12c., Modern French genre), from stem of Latin genus (genitive generis) "race, stock, family; kind, rank, order; species," also "(male or female) sex," from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups.

GEN'DER, noun [Latin genus, from geno, gigno; Gr.to beget, or to be born; Eng. kind. Gr. a woman, a wife; Sans. gena, a wife, and genaga, a father. We have begin from the same root. See Begin and Can.]
1. Properly, kind; sort.
2. A sex, male or female. Hence,
3. In grammar, a difference in words to express distinction of sex; usually a difference of termination in nouns, adjectives and participles, to express the distinction of male and female. But although this was the original design of different terminations, yet in the progress of language, other words having no relation to one sex or the other, came to have genders assigned them by custom. Words expressing males are said to be of the masculine gender; those expressing females, of the feminine gender; and in some languages, words expressing things having no sex, are of the neuter or neither gender
GEN'DER, verb transitive To beget; but engender is more generally used.
GEN'DER, verb intransitive To copulate; to breed. Leviticus 19:19. ---------------------------------
Sexologist John Money is often regarded as the first to introduce a terminological distinction between biological sex and gender role (which, as originally defined, includes the concepts of both gender role and what would later become known as gender identity) in 1955[10][11] although Madison Bentley had already in 1945 defined gender as the "socialized obverse of sex",[12][13] and Simone de Beauvoir's 1949 book The Second Sex has been interpreted as the beginning of the distinction between sex and gender in feminist theory.[14][15]
Before Money's work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories.[3][1] However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender.
The modern English word gender comes from the Middle English gender, gendre, a loanword from Anglo-Norman and Middle French gendre. This, in turn, came from Latin genus. Both words mean "kind", "type", or "sort". They derive ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *ǵénh₁- 'to beget',[25] which is also the source of kin, kind, king, and many other English words, with cognates widely attested in many Indo-European languages.[26] It appears in Modern French in the word genre (type, kind, also genre sexuel) and is related to the Greek root gen- (to produce), appearing in gene, genesis, and oxygen. The Oxford Etymological Dictionary of the English Language of 1882 defined gender as kind, breed, sex, derived from the Latin ablative case of genus, like genere natus, which refers to birth.[27] The first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED1, Volume 4, 1900) notes the original meaning of gender as "kind" had already become obsolete. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender
Yet see post above. I do go along with the “gay” contrivance or “homophobic.”
Yes, phobic is also Newspeak.
Those people are mentally ill.
So far the bed bugs and cockroaches are way ahead of the atheists and “nones” on the issue of “gender identity.” Those insects have their ways of knowing who is male, and who is female. Can’t say the same for the “brilliant scientists” who claim the right to govern over us...
The world has become so corrupted.
“Growing shares of Americans believe that a person’s gender is determined by their sex assigned at birth”
That’s supposed to be the Christian option.
But biological sex is not assigned but determined by genetics starting at conception, not birth.
Gender is a made up construct being presently used as a battering ram to force perverted ideas on society, with children now in the cross hairs.
A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 22:5 (NASB)
If GOD gets THIS upset just over clothes,
Image His DISTASTE when these fools start
cutting things off
and adding things on
to their BODIES!!
