Results of a new Gallup poll reveal an increase in the number of Americans who support policies that prioritize sex over gender identity.

The polling firm surveyed 1,003 U.S. adults from May 1–18, asking them a number of questions related to sex and gender with a margin of sampling error of 4%. When compared with the 2021 and 2023 Gallup research surveys on sex and gender, the new study revealed an increase in the number of Americans who prefer using sex as an identifier rather than “gender identity.”

The most recent poll called “Values and Beliefs” focused on two specific policies related to which team transgender athletes should compete on and how they should identify themselves on government documents.

The results showed that 69% of U.S. adults surveyed believe that “trangender athletes should only be allowed to play on sports teams that match their birth gender.” Of the sample, 90% of Republicans agreed with this statement, 72% of independents, and 42% of Democrats.

Of course they do. Most people have some common sense. What surprises me is the ones who keep insisting you can declare your own sex based on how you feel. Trying to force this idea down everyone's throat, is probably the most counter productive thing "progressive" politics can do.

But people do declare their own sex based on how they feel. That's a fact. Should they be taken seriously? Honestly, I don't think we, as a society, have done justice to this situation. Both political parties became extreme on this issue. It's been either wholly acceptable (regardless of age) or wholly contemptible (regardless of the real experience of persons). We've never really given it a fair hearing. For example, many companies and institutions have abandoned their "progressive" positions based on the current politics. That should tell us that their current position is just as ephemeral and disingenuous as their prior position. As you point out, it's politics. As a society, we have not come to terms with those who have this experience. There is a way to address this that helpful to all involved, and we haven't even begun, imo.

Everyone’s so creative! Instead of referencing what the poll said and the findings extrapolated from it, somebody imaginatively came up with a title to support the findings they wish were there. Life is so much better when we believe that our view is popular and correct, instead of unpopular and dubious. WTG Catholic “News” Agency!

They can’t. Feelings are not a biological reality. That’s a fact.
