Most Americans oppose allowing children to take puberty blocking drugs, a survey from The Economist/YouGov found.
The survey posed several questions related to transgender issues, asking if respondents are open to “allowing parents to provide their transgender children or teenagers with puberty-blocking drugs, which can temporarily prevent the effects of puberty that may not align with their gender identity.”
Overall, 53 percent said they oppose allowing this, and of those, 39 percent “strongly oppose.” Just 32 percent at least somewhat support allowing parents to provide their gender-confused children with puberty blocking drugs.
Opinions on this issue are divided on party lines. Fifty-one percent of Democrats, for example, at least somewhat support parents allowing their children to take puberty blocking drugs, while 77 percent of Republicans and 53 percent of independents at least somewhat oppose.
