Republicans and Democrats don't often see eye-to-eye on social issues, but even within the Democratic party, there are differing views on gender identity and transgender issues.
A May 2022 poll from The Pew Research Center found that 60 percent of U.S. adults say that the identities of men or women are determined by someone's sex at birth. Around 38 percent say someone can be a man or woman, even if that differs from their sex at birth.
The statistics reveal that over half of U.S. adults incorrectly conflate gender with sex, as every major medical institution separates the two.
According to the National Institute of Health: "'Sex' refers to biological differences between females and males, including chromosomes, sex organs, and endogenous hormonal profiles. 'Gender' refers to socially constructed and enacted roles and behaviors which occur in a historical and cultural context and vary across societies and over time."
Though the division is greater among party lines, a new study from Pew found that 86 percent of Republicans believe gender is determined by sex.
Even within the Democratic party, the opinions of racial groups vastly differ. Around 66 percent of Black Democrats align with Republicans, believing that gender is determined by sex.
In comparison, 72 percent of White Democrats, 61 percent of Asian Democrats, and 54 percent of Hispanic Democrats believe that gender and sex are separate.
