US public opinion turns against trans athletes in sports: Gallup poll

A new Gallup poll shows that a growing majority of Americans, including Democrats, believe transgender athletes should compete under their birth gender, with 69% of those polled supporting this view. The poll also found that 55% of Americans consider changing one's gender to be morally wrong, while just 43% find it morally acceptable. The results suggest that laws restricting participation for transgender athletes are generally in line with US public opinion, with Americans viewing transgender sports participation more through a lens of competitive fairness than transgender civil rights.
