Americans are “deeply divided” on the issue of transgender athletes and most Americans — and even most Democrats — believe that athletes should not “compete against others of the gender with which they identify,” according to an Axios/Momentive poll out Monday.
The poll seems to indicate a consensus among Americans that transgender athletes, most often biological males, should not compete according to the gender with which they identify if that gender is different from the biological sex they were assigned at birth. There does not appear to be a consensus, however, on who athletes who identify as transgender should compete against.
