Poll Shows Support for Transgender Ban for Minors

A recent poll reveals that 59% of American registered voters support a federal ban on transgender procedures for minors, including puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgeries. Support for the ban is strongest among Republicans at 82%, while only 36% of Democrats favor it. Medical organizations like the AAP and AMA are advocating for transgender procedures for minors, arguing they are safe and effective, while simultaneously pushing for restrictions on flavored vape products to protect youth. The Biden administration's stance aligns with these medical groups, opposing state-level bans on transgender healthcare. In contrast, the poll indicates that voters, especially those with children, show increasing disapproval of such procedures, with 61% of parents favoring a ban. Currently, transgender procedures for minors are prohibited in 25 states, reflecting a growing national debate over this contentious issue.
