(STUDYFINDS) — ANN ARBOR, Mich — The subject of bathroom policies in relation to gender identity is a hot button topic in American culture today. Now, a new poll finds that eight in ten (79%) young people between the ages of 14-24 believe that transgender individuals should use whichever bathroom they are most comfortable with.
This new poll, conducted by the University of Michigan, is especially interesting because it highlights a clear disparity of opinion between adolescents or young adults and older Americans on the subject of transgender bathroom rights. For example, a different poll consisting of 1,017 Americans aged 18 or older found that 51% of respondents believe transgender individuals should use the bathroom that corresponds with the gender they were assigned at birth.
