Nonsense. Aside from the 3 dozen threads about it on FR, no one is talking about this. Most people don’t care, and those who do would never support Trump anyway. The entire issue has been washed away by purple rain.

The fact is, Americans are divided on this issue, largely along age lines,as yesterdays IPSOS poll shows:

Americans aged 18 to 29 favor letting transgender people use the restroom of their identity by a 2-to-1 ratio. Among Americans aged 60 or more, the ratio was 2-to-1 in reverse with people saying restroom use should be mandated by the gender on one’s birth certificate.

Forty-four percent of women favor letting a man who is in transition from male to female into their public toilets, compared to 39 percent who say they must use the facilities matching their gender assigned at birth.

“As long as they’re not harming anyone, not harming children, and are dressed as male or female according to the bathroom where they are going, they have the same rights as everybody else,” said Debbie Dellera, 65, a Republican and Donald Trump supporter from central New Jersey who participated in the poll.

Overall, the public is roughly split, with 43 percent saying they are closer to the view that people should use public restrooms “according to the biological sex on their birth certificate” compared to 41 percent who opt for “according to the gender with which they identify.”

The poll of 2,039 people was taken April 12-18, amid running controversies on the issue in several states, and has a credibility interval of 2.5 percentage points. The credibility interval is 5.5 points for the 18-to-29 subgroup.

This is a non-issue for the Presidential race, as it is determined by state law and court decisions.

interesting. It might be deal breaker for some folks. All politics is still local and it’s a big deal where I live. We just don’t know how to stop the madness.

The quote from the poll participant is mind boggling.
a right(if it IS a right) has strings attached ? is contingent on how one is dressed ?

So polls tell now tell us what is good and what is evil? That’s what politicians do, consult the poll because they don’t have convictions. If polls said its ok to have sharia law or men can marry 8 yr olds that’s ok? Is life only about politics and not the future of your children and grandchild? Do you have a daughter or granddaughter or niece or any young girl that might find herself alone in a bathroom with a pervert that you might be concerned about? His tax comment can be overlooked, but this is scary. We are offering up our kids at the altar of politics. Is there a line that trump can cross that will open your eyes? When he said he could kill someone in broad daylight and my fans wouldn’t care, he was right.

That’s so wonderful. We conservatives are now reduced to sticking our finger in the wind and seeing which demographic supports and opposes something. Guess Trump supporters have no principles.

Debbie is obviously a clueless idiot (as is Trump). That is not what the left is pushing. Anybody regardless of how they are dressed can use not only whatever toilet they want but also showers and dressing rooms.
