The vast majority of Democrats with a four-year college degree believe that men can become women and women can become men — just because they say so.
Pew revealed the shocking stat in a new poll.
The questions asked of participants were:
Which statement comes closer to your views, even if neither is exactly right?
Is whether someone is a man or a woman determined by the sex they were assigned at birth?
Can someone be a man or a woman even if that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth?
From Pew's findings:
The survey also finds that Democrats with a bachelor’s degree or more education are more likely than other Democrats to say a person’s gender can be different from the sex they were assigned at birth. About three-quarters (77 per cent) of Democrats with a bachelor’s degree or more say this, compared with 60 per cent of Democrats with some college and 57 per cent of those with a high school diploma or less. No such divide exists among Republicans.
Democrats’ views also differ by race and ethnicity. Some 55 per cent of black Democrats and 41 per cent of Hispanic Democrats say a person’s gender is determined by their sex assigned at birth, a view shared by just 24 per cent of white Democrats.
Millennials are somewhat more likely than older generations to say someone can be a man or a woman, even if that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth. Half of Millennials say this, compared with roughly four-in-ten Gen Xers (41 per cent), Boomers (43 per cent) and members of the Silent Generation (37 per cent). However, this generational gap goes away when partisanship is taken into account.
Republicans, on the other hand, would prefer to rely on doctors and parents when it comes to determining gender.
One of the core issues in this debate is the difference between sex and gender. Sex is biologically determined at birth, whereas many argue that gender is a social construct.
So technically, under this premise, a person's sex could be female while their gender is male. Transgender individuals can identify as a gender that doesn't match up with their biological anatomy.
The left has been quick to normalize transgenderism. Yet at the same time, progressives criticize individuals who identify as "transracial" as appropriating another person's culture. On Tuesday we we reported about a white Florida man who self-identifies as Filipino. It is unclear why choosing to live as a different gender is celebrated, while choosing to live as a different race is looked down upon.
Pew's poll on attitudes toward gender was released as the nation debates a slew of related issues, including whether or not taxpayers should be forced to subsidize gender reassignment surgeries for military members and inmates. The gender that individuals privately choose to identify with has little impact on the rest of us — but when the government starts forcing us to subsidize those decisions by footing surgery bills, the debate takes on new significance.
Whatever the case, it is clear that an increasing percentage of left-leaning Americans are beginning to see gender as fluid and separate from a person's sex. It still remains to be seen how this will impact our society and tax expenditures over time.
Interesting to see how support is stronger among those who actually know trans individuals. Indicates that the remaining opposition is at least partly due to the same “fear of the other” as other social phenomena.
So I count 8 genders, six of which are rare or non-existent. So…yup…science says there are two genders.
“science” doesn’t arbitrarily discard rare situations. By your own math, “science” says 8, plus or minus nonviable situations (YO is the only one that is completely nonviable).
You acknowledge non-binary situations occur. Thus, arguments predicated on a purely binary biological phenomenon are invalid based on their very premise – you can’t simply cherry pick the data you like1
Sex and gender not the same? Give me a beak! If this was 200 years ago they would be arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Your sex is your gender. Period.
The West, unfortunately, has become more and more a society of navel gazers, trying to find lint where none exists,
News Flash! Just out!
77% of College-Educated Democrats are dolts.
“Once again i ask the progressives why if Gender can be fluid and based on feelings , then why can’t race be the same? You either accept Biology or you do not. ’’
Excellent point.
For those lacking brain activity & are gender confused – pull down your panties & take a peek!
What arrogantly ignorant dipsh*ts!
Seriously though, these kids are talking about who they have sex with. They have no religious or spiritual foundation and many, if not most come from dysfunctional or broken families or have had trauma in their early years thus leading them to have dysfunctional sexual tendencies.
So feminazis – if you want someday to have at least one man in your family you had better “man up” – otherwise your loving Johnnie might become “Joanie”.
Diploid: XX = female XY = male This is the vast majority of humans
Tripoid: XXX = superfemale XXY = possible transgender This is quite rare.
Haploid: X = weak female Y = dead male. This is extremely rare.
Tetraploid: XXXX and XXXY, dead on delivery.
So I count 8 genders, six of which are rare or non-existent. So…yup…science says there are two genders.
These people shouldn’t be allowed to breed.
God made male and female only, and anything else is made up by man’s wishful thinking!
