Mathew Rodriguez at Them:

As bills aiming to push transgender people out of public life pass through state legislatures nationwide, a new survey shows that most Americans — regardless of party, race or gender — believe that trans people deserve equal protection. In a new survey of over 1,000 respondents, 85% of Americans believe that “transgender people should have the same rights and protection as everyone else.” The sentiment was agreed upon by 92% of Democrats, 76% of Republicans and 87% of independents. The survey was conducted by research firm SSRS and funded by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. The survey also found that over four in 10 Americans now know a trans person, a rise from just one in three in previous surveys, while 27% of Americans say that they regularly have conversations with trans people. Previous research has shown that knowing a trans person corresponds with increased support for trans issues. A large majority of Americans agreed that trans people should be able to access the health care they need (89%), be protected from employment discrimination (79%), and protected from discrimination and harassment in schools (83%). Notably, a majority of Republicans believed that trans people should be protected from discrimination in both arenas, as well. With each question, support for protections for trans people was highest among people who spoke with trans people regularly, higher among those who knew a trans person, and lowest among those who did not know a trans person. [...] The survey was conducted from February 20 through February 23 with 1,032 respondents over the internet and via telephone, with responses in English and Spanish.
