Growing number of Americans say that acceptance of transgenderism has gone 'too far' in new poll released one week before Nashville shooting

A growing number of Americans say that acceptance of transgenderism has gone 'too far' and half reject using gender-neutral pronouns, a new poll has revealed.

The poll - released just one week before transgender Audrey Hale shot and killed six people at a Nashville school - was conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, with funding from the Wall Street Journal.

They surveyed 1,019 people between March 1 and 13, 2023, from across the political spectrum.

When asked if US society has gone too far with accepting people who are transgender, 43 percent of people voted yes - compared to 33 percent saying society has 'not gone far enough.'

Just 23 percent said that society has 'been about right.'

When answering the question 'Do you have a favorable, unfavorable, or neither favorable nor unfavorable view towards people identifying their pronouns in email, communication, or conversations,' double the amount of people (42 percent) chose 'unfavorable' compared to 'favorable' (21 percent.)

And when the poll asked how people felt about being asked to use they/them to address a gender-neutral person, 50 percent chose 'unfavorable' compared to 18 choosing 'favorable.'

The margin of error in the poll was plus or minus 4.1 percentage points, at 95 percent confidence level among all adults, and according to the report, 'the panel provides sample coverage of approximately 97 percent of the US household population.'

The findings show that there is a growing number of Americans becoming more unfavorable towards accepting transgender issues, using pronouns, and addressing gender neutral people.

Moratorium on transgender sex changes and all these public “readings” and other nonsense.

I don’t accept their perversion and degeneracy. I denigrate and deride the subhuman freakazoids, at every opportunity.

Way too far.

I think the pendulum is about swing back hard the other way.

I’m terrified of these cross dressing satanic perverts.

Nothing is more dangerous to our morality and our society, already fragile.

In five years the same people will come out in support of trannies and call you a right wing extremist if you’re against sex change operations for kids.

I could care less what they do in their bedrooms, but putting this stuff and these people in front of little kids is criminal.

I once asked an openly gay but conservative dresser guy why some gays looked the way they did. We were looking at two guys with weird colored hair and acting overly personal in public. Waving his hands and wiggling his body he answered, “lookatmelookatmelookatme.” I think that two things are happening that simply didn’t exist even, say twenty years ago. One is social media and the other is society’s enamoration of celebrities. Today you can be a celebrity or feel like one when you have a bunch of followers on social media. It encourages people to go crazier and crazier because they are competing for each other for attention. To get attention today, you practically have to kill someone. And that is how I think we got to the shooting situation we saw yesterday. Also, the media is urging trans people to take up arms to “defend themselves.” If you define someone having conservative views as an attack, then you are entitled to “defend yourself.” I think that is the explanation for the shooting.

Transgenderism is nothing more than mental illness inflicted by the left so they can indoctrinate kids into being their voter block freak base forever

Collectively, we have "accepted" so much rot and sin in our society since the 60's ...

Why are we so surprised now ?!?!

I’m pissed at how the NHL has associated these child molesters, now child murderers with hockey. I didn’t know attendance at games was suffering that much they needed to pander to them.

half reject using gender-neutral pronouns

ONLY HALF?? That means that 50% of Americans are willing to give up their own historic English Language because the perverts demand it?

The doo-doo is deeper and stinkier than we thought and it's getting harder to slog around in it.

People just don’t know how thin and fragile the veneer of civilization truly is. Victor Hanson says this repeatedly and is often pointing out how quickly our cities are reverting to uncivilized cesspools. He points out that what took CENTURIES to build is being torn down in a few years by the dedicated destroyers who never built a thing in their miserable lives.

The cultural denegration can be laid at the feet of the Demonic Party and its mindless Marxist constituency/supporters. The reason it has been so pervasive is due to mob violence, death threats, and the government bureaucracies, which enforce the perversion and overtly punish anyone who refuses to accept their insanity. As a result, people are being fired from their jobs for stating a man can not get pregnant and give birth, an obvious and irrefutible fact. It is long past time for God to go “Old Testament” on this demonic filth, but instead it just continues on and on...

If this it person was on testosterone, and hopefully an autopsy can determine that, I wonder if the prescribing clinic can be held liable ? If this was roid rage from too much testosterone, ( I wonder if they can test for that) and this It person was suicidal, then sue the doctors. Thats the only way this nonsense is going to end.
If mom knew It had guns, and was mentally ill ( suicidal, autistic etc. ) then I hope mom gets sued into oblivion.
