A WaPo Poll Found That Significant Majorities Support Pro-Trans Policies, But Reported The Exact Opposite by Parker Malloy (The Present Age) on May 8 2023
WaPo polling found most people (57%) didn’t think being transgender was a real thing, but also that most believed trans people should receive protections regardless:
- 71% of adults support laws banning discrimination against trans people by medical professionals.
- 72% of adults support laws banning discrimination against trans people from getting health insurance.
- 69% of adults support laws banning discrimination against transgender people in K-12 schools.
- 73% of adults support laws banning discrimination against transgender people at their jobs and workplaces.
- 74% of adults support laws banning discrimination against transgender people in housing.
Fascists and religious extremists are imposing their hateful views on all of us, against our common values. Forced birth is not popular. Discrimination against trans people is a minority viewpoint.
Corporations are driven by profit and simper into pathetic compliance at the merest whisper of manufactured exploitative outrage from fascists, but the rest of us don’t have to go along with it.

May Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map by Erin Reed (Erin in the Morning) on May 20, 2023
This map illustrates a stark divide. Nearly all states with any potential for passing harsh anti-trans laws have done so… On the other hand, states with a low likelihood of passing such laws have enacted highly protective legislation, including refuge/shield laws that block extradition and investigations into care from out of state.
