A recent survey commissioned by Human Rights Campaign Foundation found a clear majority of US citizens support equality and legal protections for trans people, with increasing levels of personal connection.
Large majorities of Americans support equal rights and protections for transgender Americans (85%), as well as equal access to healthcare (89%), workplace protections (79%), and protections for transgender students (83%).
The survey also pointed to the impact of everyday relationships. Of those surveyed, 41% of US adults said they know someone who is transgender, and 27% reported speaking with a transgender person regularly. It is a fact, people with direct contact were consistently more supportive of trans equality.
The findings also suggest public feelings may be more positive than what some politicians would have you believe, with majority support recorded across political affiliation, race, ethnicity and gender, including among Republicans.
After one year into Trump Administration, it is marked by relentless anti-trans attacks and weaponizing government against LGBTQ+ people’s health and safety. We hope next midterm elections 2026 people vote accordingly.
The vast majority of Americans are worried sick about not being able to afford fuel for their cars and food for their kitchen tables right now, and don't have time to be distracted by other things right now. If they are approaching retirement age (65) or are already on our National Health Care System, Medicare, only guaranteed for seniors, they are also concerned about Trump saying that the Federal Government shouldn't have to pay this like he just did last week. They will be expressing their concerns at the ballot box on Tuesday November 3 during the Midterm elections.
