Push to promote transgender ideology is backfiring – Washington Examiner

The data are in a new poll by the Pew Research Center. For seven years now, Pew has been asking voters this question: Which statement comes closer to your views, even if neither is exactly right? A) Whether someone is a man or a woman is determined by the sex they were assigned at birth, or B) Someone can be a man or a woman even if that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth.

Put aside the use of the loaded term  assigned at birth, which suggests a baby s sex is an arbitrary assignment rather than a biological reality. When the question was asked in 2017, 54% of those surveyed said that whether someone is a man or a woman is determined at birth, while 44% said it can be different. In 2021, the number saying sex is determined at birth ticked upward to 56%. In 2022, it grew to 60%. And this year, 65% of those surveyed said whether someone is a man or a woman is determined at birth, while 33% said it can be different.

That is a serious change. Seven years ago, just over half of those surveyed said sex is determined at birth. Now, that number is nearly two-thirds. After all the White House proclamations, all the media talk, all the change in language to gender neutral pronouns after it all, the number of people rejecting the foundation of transgenderism has increased.

I think people are happy to say a man can be a woman and vice versa as long as there are no consequences to saying this. It’s its actually being treated as a fact that bothers them.
