(WND) There’s little support among voters for the transgender ideology that imposes injury on children through chemicals and body-mutilating surgeries, according to a new poll.
According to The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll of 2,500 registered voters, reported by Just the News, nearly six in 10 respondents oppose medical interventions for children under 18.
The report said the poll found just 10% who said “children should have the ability” to seek such “treatments,” and another 21% said that would be OK if parents give permission.
“The poll found 62% of men and 54% of women were against gender-changing surgery or puberty blockers for children,” Just the News reported.

“What’s surprising – for how much you hear about it, how much it is in your face – you look at the public opinion data and there’s definitely not a majority who are in support of this,” noted Mike Noble, founder of Noble Predictive Insights.
“Six in ten are saying, ‘That’s a non-starter.’”
Significantly, the poll identified actual support for the life-altering chemicals and surgeries only among those who said they were “a strong Democrat.”
Promoting transgenderism, after all, has been one of Joe Biden’s main agenda points for his presidency, the other being abortion.
The poll said 22% of that bloc said children should be able to get those procedures, and another 40% approved with parental permission.
“Sixty-four percent of voters who said they had children under the age of 18 said minors should not be having these transgender medical interventions. And 40% of voters who said children should be able to have the medical interventions, with 25% of that group saying it needed to come with parental approval,” the report said.
Noble told Just the News the ones who are “most supportive” or those who have no children.
The issue has been a battleground since Biden took office and started promoting the ideology at all levels. He wants boys on girls athletic teams, sex change surgeries funded by taxpayers, and more.
A significant number of states, now approaching two dozen including Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida and Indiana, have imposed restrictions on the body mutilations.
On the other side, the pro-trans agenda is being led by California and a list of other Democrat states, such as Michigan, New Jersey and Oregon.
The poll was done by Noble Predictive Insights from July 31 to Aug. 3. It surveyed 1,000 registered Republicans, 1,000 registered Democrats, and 500 independents.
