Political debates about gender identity have become heated in recent years, as some state legislatures have increasingly sought to restrict transgender rights. Battles over how - or even if - sexual orientation and gender identity should be discussed in public schools are also erupting at school boards nationally, amid larger frustrations with public education that have emerged in the wake of the pandemic and other social tumult. This PRRI study of more than 5,000 Americans takes a closer look at Americans' views on gender identity and what is appropriate to teach in public schools with respect to sexual orientation and gender identity. The study gauges Americans' comfort levels with the idea of a friend using gender-neutral pronouns or pronouns that may not match the respondent's perception of their friend's gender. The study asks Americans their thoughts about the age at which children should receive sex education in public schools and which content is appropriate. It considers how partisanship, religion, media trust, parental status, and generation relate to people's views on these matters. The study also considers how familiarity with people who are LGBTQ influences such views.
