Most people reject radical gender ideology because it is a lie

Despite years of propaganda from the Left and the media, people are increasingly rejecting radical gender ideology. According to a recent poll from the Pew Research Center, 65% of registered voters say that gender is determined by “sex assigned at birth.” In 2017, that number was just 53%. The rise in the belief that sex determines gender is a bipartisan trend and is reflected in other results from the poll. For example, only 43% of voters are comfortable with using “gender-neutral” pronouns such as “they/them.” 

A different study from last year found that young people have had the largest shift against gender ideology. In 2021, only 43% of Generation Z said that there were only two genders. By 2023, it was 57%. Almost every single group, whether broken down by politics, religion, age, or race, has strengthened its belief in biological reality. This begs the question of why modern gender theories are being so thoroughly rejected.
