Dem-linked pollsters tried to BURY their own survey showing voters OPPOSE trans ... trends now

A liberal polling group is keeping quiet about the results of its survey that shows voters reject radical gender ideology, while privately hatching plans to 'educate' the public by 'rebranding puberty blockers.'

DailyMail.com gained access to an invite-only webinar of San Francisco-based Change Research, in which they unveiled new poll results that show Americans reject giving hormones and other trans drugs to children.

In the online session, lead pollster Betsy App called the results 'bad news,' saying the team would struggle to 'educate' the public about sex-reassignment for kids. She said it was time for 'rebranding puberty blockers' with a less-divisive term.

The webinar indicated that Change Research wanted to conceal its results — with the stated goal of reshaping US attitudes on gender ideology and trans treatments on kids.

For some, this fits into a bigger picture of how progressive activists reject the public's common sense and use coercive language — rather than sound arguments — to shift opinion.

Many trans activists and major US medical groups say gender-affirming care is life-saving for a suicide-prone group, but the affirmative model of greenlighting most trans procedures for kids is increasingly called into question.

Britain and other European states have begun restricting procedures, saying most mixed-up kids just need counselling, not gender drugs. In the US, Republican politicians are trying to outlaw procedures in more than a dozen red states this year.

Change's polling of 1,208 voters was carried out between April 28 and May 2.

The results echo findings from other polls — that
