Utah passed anti-trans legislation and there was a poll and the results are not encouraging.
Poll: Do Utahns support or oppose ban on gender-affirming surgeries for kids and hormonal treatments for new minor patients?Desert NewsBy Katie McKellarFebruary 7, 2023A bill to ban transgender surgeries for Utah children and teens, as well as place an indefinite moratorium on new hormonal treatments for minors, was one of the first high-profile bills to make its way through the Utah Legislature this year.[…]
A majority of Utahns agree with the approval of SB16 — but a fair amount don’t, reflecting just how divisive the issue has been in the Beehive State.
That’s according to a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll, which asked Utahns whether they support or oppose legislation that would ban gender-affirming surgeries on transgender minors along with a moratorium on puberty blockers and hormone therapy.
The survey found 54% of Utah voters strongly or somewhat approve of the bill, while 41% said they strongly or somewhat disapproved.
More specifically, 39% said they strongly approved, 15% said they somewhat approved, 12% said they somewhat disapproved, and 29% said they strongly disapproved. About 5% said they didn’t know what to think.

According to the poll, 65% of respondents who self-identified as Republicans support the new law, while 75% of those who identified as Democrats oppose it.

Men were more in favor of the law than women, according to the survey.
We need to educate the people on what being trans is and what the medical procedures are in treating trans children. The Republicans puts out so many lies no one knows the truth, all they hear is one side’s pontification.
