Most Americans view elements of transgender agenda as "child abuse."
An exclusive new America's New Majority Project poll reveals broad and intense opposition to elements of the transgender agenda.
Americans have broad and intense opposition to elements of transgender ideology being a part of children's school curriculum and experience and strongly support parental rights in education.
WHY IT MATTERS - The results of this poll come as the Equality Act, which passed the House of Representatives, is being debated in the U.S. Senate.
The bill would make gender identity a protected class equivalent to race, and among other things, require schools to allow biological men to compete in women's sports and use women's locker rooms if they identify as a female.
THE NUMBERS - The exclusive America's New Majority Project Poll, conducted by Scott Rasmussen, from October 18-20, 2022 reveals:
72% oppose schools teaching children they can change their gender (10% support, 18% not sure);
80% believe parents should be given advance notice of any such instruction and given the option to opt their children out (11% oppose, 9% not sure);
73% say a teacher or school should notify parents if a child says they want to identify as a the opposite gender (12% say No, 15% not sure);
60% agree that if a teacher or school encourages a child to change their gender identity that this is a form of child abuse (22% disagree, 18% are not sure);
69% oppose schools being required to treat people according to their chosen gender identity, including 53% who strongly oppose (20% favor, 11% not sure).
The poll also explored Americans' feelings about so-called "gender affirming care", including puberty blockers and surgery, being offered to minors. The results reveal:
59% believe it should be against the law to provide this treatment to children (23% say it should not be against the law, 19% are not sure);
56% agree that conducting gender transition surgery on children is a form of child abuse (22% disagree, 19% are not sure);
