A growing number of Americans say that acceptance of transgenderism has gone 'too far' and the majority reject using gender-neutral pronouns, a new poll has revealed.
The poll - released just one week before transgender Audrey Hale shot and killed six people at a Nashville school - was conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, with funding from the Wall Street Journal.
They surveyed 1,019 people between March 1 and 13, 2023, from across the political spectrum.
When asked if US society has gone too far with accepting people who are transgender, 43 percent of people voted yes - compared to 33 percent saying society has 'not gone far enough.'
Just 23 percent said that society has 'been about right.' Therefore according to the poll, the majority believed that the issue has 'gone too far.'
When answering the question 'Do you have a favorable, unfavorable, or neither favorable nor unfavorable view towards people identifying their pronouns in email, communication, or conversations,' double the amount of people (42 percent) chose 'unfavorable' compared to 'favorable' (21 percent.)
And when the poll asked how people felt about being asked to use they/them to address a gender-neutral person, 50 percent chose 'unfavorable' compared to 18 choosing 'favorable.'
The margin of error in the poll was plus or minus 4.1 percentage points, at 95 percent confidence level among all adults, and according to the report, 'the panel provides sample coverage of approximately 97 percent of the US household population.'
The findings show that there is a growing number of Americans becoming more unfavorable towards accepting transgender issues, using pronouns, and addressing gender neutral people.
This new poll comes during a fraught time in the US for transgender issues.
This month, ESPN honored the former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas as part of a 'Celebrating Women's History Month' segment, despite being a trans woman.
Thomas became the first transgender woman to win an Ivy League Championship and later an NCAA Championship in the 500-yard freestyle - but has stirred the debate over whether it is fair for trans women to compete in women's sports.
The swimmer has denied that she has an unfair competitive advantage due to her gender of birth.
'People will say, "Oh, she just transitioned so
