Did they ask if people approve of Republicans sending creeps to inspect your kids’ genitals before they can play soccer?

Pew Research Center poll on “transgender athletes competing on sports teams that don’t match their birth sex”: • 27% of American adults are somewhat/very/extremely comfortable with it • 73% are not comfortable with it Democrats are also NOT comfortable with it: 55-44% margin.

Whenever I see a poll like this im always skeptical how the question is asked after learning that these questions tend to be asked on ways designed to be incredibly confusing

I'm serious. Poll people on that, using these exact words: "Do you approve of Republicans sending creeps to inspect your kids’ genitals before they can play soccer?"

That is a 100% honest and valid question. Ask 'em.

I've been asking who they think should be inspecting genitals. They get quiet and slink away but never have a good answer.

Republican policies become unpopular once the enforcement hits. Anti-immigration talk was popular until the reality of enforcement turned everyone into ICE abolitionists. Anti-CRT wingnuts swept schoolboard elections until they started banning books and were almost universally purged. As soon...

as the genital inspector sets up shop at the local PAL signups, we'll have the "I've always been against this" moment on institutional transphobia, as well.
