"The survey results point to two clear conclusions. First, support for transgender equality is already broad across the country. Second, personal connection matters: people who know transgender people—and especially those who speak with them regularly—are even more likely to support trans equality."
"Support for trans equality was broad across party, race and ethnicity, and gender, with more than half of Republicans backing each of the measures tested."
A February 2026 survey revealed that a significant majority of US citizens support equality and legal protections for transgender individuals, with backing from various demographic groups, including Republicans. The survey, conducted by SSRS for the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, was released on International Transgender Day of Visibility amidst ongoing political challenges.

Personal connections to transgender individuals increased support, with 41% of respondents knowing someone transgender and 27% speaking with them regularly.
