A new poll examining Americans' views on gender identity, pronoun use, and whether teaching about sexual orientation should be allowed at public schools shows a divide between people based on party affiliation, age, and religion.

The poll, conducted by PRRI, surveyed 5,000 Americans, and 65% said they believe there are only two gender identities, with 34% disagreeing, saying they believe they are many gender identities.

Politically, 90% of Republicans polled said there are two genders, as compared to 66% of independents and 44% of Democrats.

The online poll was conducted March 9-23 of more than 5,000 adults, with a margin of error of plus/minus 1.5 percentage points.

The pollsters noted that in the past few years, views have been shifting on gender identities:

2021: 59% said there are only two identities, man and woman, and 40% said there are many identities.
2022: 62% said there are two identities; 35% said there are many.
2023: 65% said there are two identities; 34% said there are many. Nine in 10 Republicans believe there are only two genders, compared to 87% in 2021.
The recent results showed the discourse is highly polarized by partisan lines, and has been shifting over the past few years:

Democrats are less likely to believe that there are only two genders, at 44% in 2023 and 38% in 2021.
Independents are more likely to think there are only two genders, with 66% in 2023 and 60% in 2021.
Meanwhile, beliefs on gender remained somewhat steady from 2021 to 2023 among religious groups:

92% of Protestants said in the current poll there are only two genders, compared to 86% in 2021.
Hispanic Protestants and Latter-Day Saints, said there are two genders, by 79% and 81%, respectively, in 2021, and 82% and 81% in 2023.
More than seven in 10 Black Protestants (73% in 2021 and 71% in 2023) said there are two genders.
65% of white Protestants in 2021 and 67% in 2023 said they believe there are only two genders.
White Catholics went from 62% in 2021 and 69% in 2023 believing in only two genders.
Other Protestants of color and Hispanic Catholics marked the most drastic changes. In 2021, 52% of other Protestants of color believed in only two genders, compared with 73% in 2023, and Hispanic Catholics increased from 48% to 66%.
Jewish Americans remained at 44% in both years, and people unaffiliated with any religion went from 2023 to 46% who believe in only two genders from 38% in 2021.
Those polled overall were almost evenly divided on the use of gender-neutral pronouns, with 35% comfortable, 40% uncomfortable, and 23% saying it doesn't matter.

But again, the issue was divided by political party, with 65% of Republicans and 38% of independents saying they are uncomfortable with gender-pronoun use, and 24% of Democrats saying that makes them uncomfortable.

The poll found that 34% of people overall said that same-sex relationships aren't an appropriate subject matter for students to learn about in public K-12 schools.

Those numbers were also divided by political party, with 55% of Republicans, 32% of independents, and 18% of Democrats agreeing.

   It Only goes to show that about 70% of the population still has a functioning brain..

Wonder how there are 20 to 30 percent of Christians that believe in more than two genders?

[Lloyd Smale]

most likely because its easy to call yourself a Christian then to actually be one. i know many that claim the catholic because there parents were or they were baptized that havent seen the inside of a church since they left home at 18. worse yet you have people like biden and pelosi that dare walk into a church when in fact there against everything Christian. they make it cool for other trash to invade churches and try to change them like they want to change democracy.

  Evidently, there are more mucking around in one mysticism or another..supposedly seeking God..   They are a confused bunch, from whom we hear such  terms as being "spiritual"..

  Well, there are all kinds of spirits out there, evil spirits (Matt 10:1) (Mark 5:13)

  ..And of course, we are to "test every spirit"..to see whether it is of God or of Satan,,

  " Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. "   (1 John 4:1)

A  big number of conservatives that believe there are only two genders, still call a man pretending to be a woman by their female name. I will only do that if the name can be both male or female. Like Pat, or Carol. Bruce Jenner is still, and will always be Bruce. Kaitlin is not an option. Bruce was on a box of Wheaties, and Kaitlin should be on Fruit Loops.

   And if they identify as a dog or horse..I refuse to refer to them as Rover or Seabiscuit !   And if they identify as a reindeer, it's not Donner or Blitzen!
    I won't even condescend to Rudolph !

There are males, there are females. That’s two, two sexes. Anything else is abnormal.

Sad that as a society, we're bending to a 1-2% group of people that are mentally ill. And trying to propagate their illness by influencing children that at one time, could put a red cape on and pretend to fly around the back yard as Superman. Now their pushing gender changing surgery, which, unlike a red cape, can't be changed when they decide Superman isn't what they want to be.

I am seriously shocked that mental illness has become fashionable.

I am seriously shocked that mental illness has become fashionable. 

  just look at how many drug addicts and alcoholics there are today mental illness is an EPIDEMIC today. Look at the high school drop out rates and how many people have no ambition to better themselves or have any kind of work ethic. look at how  many people not only dont believe in God but will go out of there way to attack those that do.  All of those things get worse every day. Sad thing is i cant see these trends doing anything but getting worse. today we have hundreds if not thousands of new losers crossing the border every day. we are the last generation that will live in a great country but the fact is we are the generation that let it happen
