In a surprising development, a recent AP-NORC poll indicates that 19% of Democrats approve of President Trump's handling of transgender issues, despite only 9% approving of his overall performance. Among independents, 48% support his transgender policies, while 27% approve of his presidency. Unsurprisingly, Republicans show the highest support, with 90% approving of his stance on transgender matters.
These numbers suggest a growing consensus across the political spectrum that biological sex should determine gender, especially in contexts like sports and public facilities. In fact, 68% of those surveyed believe that a person's gender is determined by their sex at birth, aligning with President Trump's policies.
This shift in public opinion poses a challenge for Democrats, who have increasingly embraced radical gender ideologies. Their reluctance to address the concerns of everyday Americans on these issues may be contributing to their declining support.
As the debate over gender identity continues, it's clear that many Americans, including some Democrats, are seeking a return to common-sense policies that uphold traditional values and protect the rights of women and girls.
