It's amazing how many people reject these nonsense positions when they are actually presented with them instead of the usually "TWAW" nonsense. Even in what are heavily progressive states like California.

That is one big reason TRA tries to police language so much. It's not only about "validation".

Hey US ladies, please use this information in a call/email to your US Senators today, while expressing your concerns about the Equality Act.

The Equality Act is coming up for a vote in the Senate and yet most Senators seem to still think it's about something something LGBTQ+ rights! Freedom!

I feel like many Senators, especially Republicans, still have no idea that the Equality Act will eviscerate women's sex-based rights/ privacy/ dignity/safety/sports.

So please use this information to tell them that most Americans will not be onboard if they vote to pass the Equality Act.

I bet the polling questions used were straightforward, unlike all the all-kinds-of-tricky questions the mainstream polling orgs uses to attempt to make it seem as if Americans are onboard with gender ideology.

Interesting, I’m concerned the polling was biased though. The language used in the questions while accurate and certainly the language I would use, suggests the poll is already in favour of our position. People who’ve swallowed the gender ideology blue pill would dismiss this as a “transphobic” questionnaire because of its phraseology, which while annoying is a real thing.

Very slippery trying to get ahold of people’s opinions.

There was UK poll, I don't remember exact numbers, but there were something like 60-70% of people supported "transwomen in women's spaces" and in same poll when it was specified "transwomen before surgeries" - only 10-15% supported.

Most people just do not know that between 92% and 96% of transwomen are never doing any surgeries on genitals, and around 70-75% are not even being heavily on cross-sex hormones.

Most people are thinking that it is all about transsexuals, who just want to silently live and blend in crowd.

I get what you're saying about influencing people's opinions, but WOLF's questions at least reflect the reality o the situation. I can't say the same about TRA's polls. Just compare this with the recent question about trans and women's sports made by Politico. Interestingly, despite the framing most people still didn't suport "gender identiy" policies in this poll, either.

Ahh thank you, I think I twigged it because I had just seen a poll showing women 1% in favour of males in women’s sports. And I think the wording was something like “Are you in favour of transgender women being be able to fairly participate in female sports?” Something leading, I was more enraged than I cared to be because the men were a few percent against!

If I had more patience or the mind for it I think it would be very interesting to compile and compare polls, numbers are so easy to bungle.
