Poll: Most Americans oppose allowing men to play women's sports, half say gender changes 'morally wrong'

A recent Gallup poll finds that a majority of nearly 70 percent of respondents oppose allowing men who claim to be transgender women to play women’s sports, and 55 percent say changing one’s gender is “morally wrong.”

The poll released on Monday seems to show that the radical transgender movement is not achieving its desired goal of normalizing transgenderism. Indeed, it seems to be backfiring.

Two findings, in particular, seem to show that many are pulling away from trans acceptance. A previous poll from 2021 found that 51 percent felt changing one’s gender is “morally wrong,” but this year’s survey found that result up four percent, with 55 percent saying they opposed the whole idea of changing one’s gender.

But trans athletes found an even worse result. In 2021 62 percent opposed allowing male-born athletes to play sports as females. Today, that number is up to 69 percent who said that people should only be allowed to compete in categories corresponding to their birth gender.

Those who support trans athletes have also dwindled. Gallup’s past poll found that 34 percent said athletes should be allowed to choose whatever category fits their “gender identity.” The new poll found that number had fallen to only 26 percent....

Gallup concluded, writing, "Laws that restrict participation for transgender athletes are generally in line with US public opinion on the issue." ...

FYI. I'm kinda astounded that 55% of Americans find 'gender changes' morally wrong. I thought Americans had given up on religion. From where are they getting their morals?

Poll? Here’s my own poll: Who really thinks the small group of zealots cares about ‘most Americans’?

“T” is going to be the undoing of LBBQ.

And if it pushes them back into “the closet” I’m fine with that!

We need to start calling them cowards afraid to compete against real men. They are bullies who only want to compete against those they know will be weaker.

Disgusting.

I have to wonder, what is wrong with the other 30%?

People have their own conscience also. How they excuse their own failings is a tough exercise.
Gender “change” using surgery to “affirm” is not only biologically impossible despite superficial cosmetic similarity, but would indicate delusionary thinking.
Like identifying as Cyclops, and getting one eye removed. Or like that guy who identified as a space alien who tattooed his entire body black, and had his nose removed among other mutilations.

It is not a question of morality, but of scientific fact.

Can this old white guy identify as a young lithe and nubile female on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Team? If such I support this insanity and much look forward to shower time in the Dallas Cowboys Cheer leader teams locker room.

This is all insane.

It's simply the mentally unstable obtaining Surgeon Assisted ‘self’ mutilation.

Many of the taboos are “natural law”, previously reinforced by religion. Anyone who knows the reals acts performed by perverts is disgusted - religion notwithstanding.

I understand Micky Rapinoe said men should be able to play womens’ soccer - very conveniently after retirement (when she’d be benched as men filled the field).
