"Most of us" is most Americans and Canadians.

Why is “feminist” in quotes?

Because I don’t consider liberal “feminism” even slightly feminist. As a movement it panders to men and porn while doing nothing to advance or protect the rights of women.

Can we see how you asked every American and Canadian what they think, how you know they were honest, and the exact figures you got from this questioning?

Liberal feminists fought for and continue to fight for OTC birth control, ending sexual harassment and domestic violence, the prosecution of rape, equal pay, universal healthcare, Black Lives Matter, gay marriage, against ableism, classism and a host of other issues. All those things help me as a woman. We are critical of the mainstream porn induatry, but not every form of sexual entertainment. Some feminists, while also fighting issues not specifically related to women, do not consider these issues "feminist". We all have different definitions of "feminism" and there are different branches of feminism. Some branches of feminism do not see gender critical feminism as actual feminism. My feminism is social justice feminism. I support all causes for every marginalized group, vote, sign petitions and look at my own privileges and oppressions and how different identities intersect.

My state has various laws to protect transgender people. Its illegal to harass someone for using a bathroom that matches their gender identity. This wouldn't be possible without majority support.

Liberal feminism supports sex work as empowerment, pornography, the erasure of women’s spaces, the concept of gender identity, interfering with children’s puberty, and the concept of gendered roles and expectations as innate.

Supporting birth control and abortions does not a feminist make. What you do is irrelevant. It’s not about you, personally.

the laws in my state...

That’s not what I asked. I asked you for the data and collection methods you used to be able to say that most people in America and Canada think that transwomen are actually women.

Did you just pull that out of your ass or not? If not you should be able to post the data right here. Just copy and paste it from the source you have.
