How Americans view policy proposals on transgender and gender identity issues, and where such policies exist

15 Sep 2022

In recent years, many states have considered or enacted policies related to people who are transgender. On a couple of these measures, there is some agreement among Americans, but views of other policies are more divided, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.Overall, just 8% of Americans say they are following news about bills recently proposed by several states related to people who are transgender either extremely or very closely, according to the survey, which was conducted May 16-22 among 10,188 U.S. adults. About two-thirds (68%) say they are following news about these bills a little or not at all closely.Below is a closer look at how the public views certain state policy proposals related to transgender people. Broadly speaking, views on all of the policies surveyed vary by age, party, and race and ethnicity.
