WASHINGTON – About half of our adults agree on how President Donald Trump has dealt with sexually transformed issues, according to a new poll – a relative high point for the president who obtained approval of about 4 out of 10 Americans.
But supporting his individual policies on transgender people is not uniform, with a clearer consensus against the policies that affect young people.
The Associated Press Nork Center for Public Affairs Research Surveying 1175 adults that conducted this month I found that there is more support than the opposition about allowing sexually transformed forces in the army, while most of them do not want to allow sexually transgender students to use public school bathrooms that are in line with their sexual identity and oppose the use of government programs to pay health care costs that regulate sex for sexually transformed youth.
Shueller Frechon, a 40 -year -old mother from North Virginia, is one of those who oppose the government that pays for sexual care, especially for young people.
She said that she does not want people to make major changes to later. But she said that because of her Catholic faith, she does not want to exclude sexually transformed people from public life. “It is very important for me that everyone understands its dignity and importance as a person.”
She said, “It is something I do through myself.” “I still learn.”
Most adults agree with Trump that sex is specific at birth
About a third of our adults with President Donald Trump agrees that whether the person is a man or a woman determined by his biological properties at birth.
The poll found that Republicans believe in an overwhelming majority that sexual identity is determined by sex at birth, but Democrats are divided, as he says almost half of them from sexual identity that can differ from biological characteristics at birth. The opinion that sexual identity cannot be separated from sex at birth contradicts what the American Medical Association and other prevailing medical groups say: that extensive scientific research indicates that sex and sex are better understood as a spectrum of either or definition.
The batch against recognition and the rights of transgender people, who make up about 1 % of the country’s population, was a major part of Trump’s return to the White House – and it was a large part of his campaign.
He has signed executive orders calling on the government to classify people through non -change sex instead of sex and sexual service members, and The sexual transformed women and girls kicks female sports competitions. These and other procedures are challenged in court, and the judges have spent many of his efforts to wait.
The public is divided on some issues – and many are neutral
Although it is a generally hot issue, a large part of the population is neutral or has not resolved them in many major policies.
About 4 out of 10 persons supported by public school teachers to report on parents whether their children know that they are sexually or non -general converts. About 3 out of 10, and a similar number was neutral.
About the same part of the people – just below 4 in 10 – preferred to allow the sexual transformed forces in the army as they were neutral. About a quarter of the exhibitor.
Tim Faris, 59, a democratic registered in Kansas, says he often votes for Republicans, among those in the middle in this case.
One of them said on hand: “Either you can do the task or you cannot do the task.” But on the other hand, he added: “I am not a military person, so I am not qualified to judge how it affects military readiness.”
This month, the US Supreme Court, divided by the Trump administration, allowed a ban on transgender people in the army while legal challenges continue, which is the opposite of what the lower courts said.
Most of them are presented to the government coverage of the care of the confirmed sexes for young people
About half of the permitting government insurance programs such as Medicare and Medicaid are opposed to covering the gender medical care, such as hormonal therapy and surgery, for sexually transformed people 19 or larger. About two -thirds of this oppose this for those under the age of 19.
In each of these questions, an almost equal part of the population supports coverage or is neutral around it.
One of Trump’s executive orders prevents federal insurance plans from paying for gender care for those under the age of 19. The court ruled that funding cannot be dropped from institutions that provide care, at least at the present time.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration issued a report this month calling for treatment alone, not wider than health care that confirms sex with sexually transformed youth. There are twenty -seven states with a ban on caring for minors, and the Supreme Court is expected to rule in the coming months about whether the ban can carry.
It is easy to form a position for some
While Democrats are divided into many policies related to the issues of transgender people, they are more supportive than population in general. There is no pain on the issue or other transgender policy questions by Isabelle Skinner, a 32 -year -old policy professor in Illinois.
It has liberal views about people who are transgender, partly forms as a member of the LGBTQ community as a bilateral sex, and also by knowing the transgender people.
It was in the minority that supported allowing sexually transgender students using public school bathrooms that are appropriate to their sexual identity-a matter that has passed at least 14 laws to prohibit them in the past five years.
“I do not understand where fear comes from, because it does not seem to be any basis for the reality of fear of transgender people,” Skinner said.
