This statistic shows the results of a 2016 survey among adult Americans on whether they favor or oppose laws that require transgender people to use bathrooms corresponding to their birth gender rather than their gender identity. Debate on this topic was sparked when the state of North Carolina introduced a respective law (the so-called "North Carolina bathroom law"), causing for example corporate boycotts and even the Justice Department to weigh in and advise the state to modify the law since it violates civil rights.
During this survey, 39 percent of respondents stated they strongly oppose any laws requiring transgender people to use a bathroom corresponding to their birth gender rather than their gender identity.
Do you favor or oppose laws that require transgender individuals to use facilities that correspond to their gender at birth rather than their gender identity?
