Good to read some polling from the states.

The majority of people in the US are against medical transitions for children. A majority don't believe its possible to change sex. A majority think that trans people deserve to be protected from discrimination. And a.majority think males should not compete in womens sports.

These views are somewhat oddly lumped together and described as 'anti trans' - I don't know what slant the Washington Post takes in general.

Change's polling of 1,208 voters was carried out between April 28 and May 2.

'In discussing the results, Change pollsters stressed that the public was wrong to oppose sex reassignment treatments for minors, and that they were on a mission to alter attitudes.
App, a Denver-based mom-of-three, including a 'gender creative first-grader,' said she was 'surprised by these findings' and the 'strong headwind' against doling out hormones to teens.'
...
'Winning the argument, she said, involved changing language. 'Gender affirming care,' she said, was a 'great term that we should continue using' because it resonated with the public.
Not so for puberty blockers, she added.
'One of the key next steps is rebranding puberty blockers,' said App.
'This is a term that's not doing us any favors.''

So revealing. Thanks Arabella, great stuff.
