A new poll conducted by Spry Strategies for WoLF found a majority of likely 2020 voters disagree with policies related to “gender identity” that would remove protections for women in single-sex spaces such as prisons, shelters, & sports. https://www.womensliberationfront.org/news/national-poll-support-for-womens-spaces">https://www.womensliberationfront.org/news/nati...
The results are based on a national sample of 3,500 likely voters and include detailed representation across regions, ethnicity, sex, and political affiliation.
Black and Hispanic voters are more likely to support protections for single-sex spaces, especially on issues such as prison and homelessness which disproportionately impact communities of color.
The majority of voters of all parties (66.96 percent) state that men or boys who identify as transgender should not be permitted to compete in women and girls’ athletics.
A majority of voters also disagree with allowing men who identify as transgender in women’s changing rooms (56.86 percent) and homeless shelters (53.19 percent).
Over two-thirds of voters (66.84 percent) also disagree with children under the age of 18 undergoing physical sex-change surgery or taking cross-sex hormones.
There was also cross-partisan agreement that parents should not face losing custody of their children for refusing to allow their children to undergo these procedures with only 17.01 percent of voters supporting such policies.
Meanwhile, the wealthiest Americans (those with household incomes over $150,000) are the most likely to support gender identity policies which are largely unpopular with middle-class voters.
