Play fair: The impact of issue framing on attitudes toward transgender youth participation in sports
Introduction Policies restricting sports participation by transgender youth have spread across the United States. The Trump administration has also taken a variety of executive actions to ban participation by transgender athletes. Methods Little research has examined how issue framing affects attitudes toward these policies. Some LGBT advocates recommend emphasizing egalitarian and loss-based arguments, as well as acknowledging discomfort regardi…
Transgender and Gender-Diverse People Disproportionately Report Problems While Trying to Vote Compared to Cisgender People
The Influence of Religious Affiliation on the Political Views of LGBT Americans
With a nationally representative, repeated cross-sectional sample of over 250,000 Americans from 2016 to 2019, we investigate the role that religious and LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) identities play in influencing Americans' political attitudes, centering the narratives of religious LGBT Americans. We find that nearly half of LGBT Americans affiliate religiously. Logistic regressions show that identifying as religious is related…
Perceived Impact of the Parental Rights in Education Act (“Don’t Say Gay”) on LGBTQ+ Parents in Florida
Prior studies indicate that anti-LGBTQ+ legislation has negative consequences for the well-being of LGBTQ+ people, their families, and their communities. In July of 2022, Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, also called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, was signed into law. The law aimed to limit K–3 instruction and discussion related to sexuality and gender, encompassing LGBTQ+ identities. The present study surveyed 113 LGBTQ+ parents in Florida …
Materialidades y procesos de materialización de la etnografía como escritura académica
Debido al predominio de una perspectiva semiótica y representacionalista en la escritura y la etnografía, las materialidades y los procesos de materialización de la etnografía apenas empiezan a ser estudiados por los propios antropólogos y etnógrafos. En este texto, luego de delimitar a la etnografía como escritura académica y diferenciarla de la antropología, una práctica que Tim Ingold define como de observación corresponsal, cito tres casos de…
Transitioning Opinion
Few public opinion surveys addressed transgender rights prior to 2015, but scholarly attention to these issues began to proliferate with a series of surveys from 2015 and 2016 that identified a number of important variables shaping attitudes toward transgender people and policies. Yet, the political environment surrounding transgender rights has changed significantly since 2015, with increasing public attention to these issues, more prominent pos…
Cuerpos y Otredades en la Antropología como Práctica de Observación Corresponsal y la Etnografía como Escritura para Habitar
El texto sostiene que la idea generalizada de que la antropología tiene lugar en el encuentro con la otredad y que la etnografía como texto es su producto nace de la confusión entre antropología y etnografía, así como de la falta de atención a los cuerpos en cada una de ellas. El artículo muestra que al concebir a la antropología como una práctica de "observación corresponsal" (INGOLD, 2017) el problema de la otredad - condición existencial o res…
Gender Identity Disparities in Criminal Victimization: National Crime Victimization Survey, 2017–2018
Objectives. To estimate the prevalence of personal and household victimizations among transgender people in the United States. Methods. We analyzed pooled 2017 and 2018 data from the National Crime Victimization Survey, the first nationally representative sample that allows identification of transgender respondents. Results. Transgender people experienced 86.2 victimizations per 1000 persons compared with cisgender people’s 21.7 per 1000 persons …
Voter Registration Rates and Traits by Sexual Orientation and Gender Expression
Studies of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people suggest that they are more politically engaged and active compared to cisgender and heterosexual people. However, knowing the voter registration rates of eligible LGBT Americans has been elusive because the U.S. Census Bureau does not document sexual orientation or gender identity in the Current Population Survey and existing estimates are limited based on small sample sizes or on s…
Public Attitudes on Transgender Military Service: The Role of Gender
Policy regarding the inclusion of transgender soldiers in the U.S. Military has shifted back and forth in recent years, with public opinion likely a significant factor shaping the eventual policy outcome. As such, this study examines the factors that shape public attitudes toward military service by transgender people. In particular, we examine the influence of sex, social gender roles, and attitudes toward gender in shaping transgender military …
The Politics of Being “Cait: Caitlyn Jenner, Transphobia, and Parasocial Contact Effects on Transgender-Related Political Attitudes
Celebrities saturate American culture and often become relevant in politics, yet political science has largely left unstudied how celebrities affect mass political behavior. We focus on the 2015 story of Caitlyn Jenner revealing her transgender identity. Using an original nationally representative survey from that summer, we examine whether following the Jenner story and evaluations of its social significance affected attitudes toward transgender…
Gender Identity Nondiscrimination Laws in Public Accommodations: A Review of Evidence Regarding Safety and Privacy in Public Restrooms, Locker Rooms, and Changing Rooms
Challenged Expectations: Mere Exposure Effects on Attitudes About Transgender People and Rights
Social categorization processes may be initiated by physical appearance, which have the potential to influence how people evaluate others. Categorizations ground what stereotypes and prejudices, if any, become activated. Gender is one of the first features people notice about others. Much less is known about individuals who may transgress gender expectations, including people who are transgender. Using an experiment, this study investigates wheth…
Incarceration Rates and Traits of Sexual Minorities in the United States: National Inmate Survey, 2011–2012
Objectives. To report characteristics of sexual minority US inmates. Methods. We drew our data from the National Inmate Survey, 2011–2012, a probability sample of inmates in US prisons and jails. We determined weighted proportions and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals to estimate differences between sexual minority and heterosexual inmates. Results. Sexual minorities (those who self-identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual or report a same-s…
Disproportionality and Disparities among Sexual Minority Youth in Custody
Social Attitudes Regarding Same‐Sex Marriage and LGBT Health Disparities: Results from a National Probability Sample
This study examined the health consequences for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations of exposure to communities with relatively high versus low levels of support for same‐sex marriage. We used data from the Gallup Daily tracking survey, the largest probability‐based sample of LGBT‐identified adults in the United States ( N = 11,949 LGBT respondents; N = 352,343 non‐LGBT respondents), which was linked to attitudinal responses…
Degrees of Acceptance: Variation in Public Attitudes toward Segments of the LGBT Community
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community includes a diverse set of groups, including distinct groups based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity, but it is not clear whether the public makes distinctions in their attitudes toward these subgroups. If they do, what factors motivate individuals to evaluate gays and lesbians differently from transgender people? This study analyzes Americans’ attitudes toward these communities, …
Testing Contact Theory and Attitudes on Transgender Rights
Most of the public opinion research about sexual and gender minorities has focused on attitudes about lesbians and gay men, support for gay rights policies, and the factors that affect these attitudes. In particular, interpersonal contact with gay and lesbian individuals consistently is shown to positively affect attitudes toward these groups. Comparable studies about transgender people and transgender rights are few in number, and these studies …
Backlash, Consensus, Legitimacy, or Polarization: The Effect of Same-Sex Marriage Policy on Mass Attitudes
What are the effects of judicial action and policy implementation on attitude change? The previous literature indicates that attitudes may change, but there is some debate about its direction. According to some theories, legislation or litigation should strike a backlash, resulting in greater disapproval of the issue. Other perspectives contend that these acts reflect consensus, legitimate, or polarize the issue. We analyze panel data on attitude…
Examining Variation in Surveying Attitudes on Same-Sex Marriage: A Meta-Analysis
Recent polls report majorities of the public supporting marriage recognition for same-sex couples. These reports are not uniform, with some polling organizations still reporting less than a majority in favor. I examine variation in these results using meta-analysis to examine variation among organizations (norg=21) and question wordings (nqw=36) . I also examine direct effects that explain variation based on question framing from 1996 to 2014 (np…
Reexamining Context and Same-Sex Marriage: The Effect of Demography on Public Support for Same-Sex Relationship Recognition
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people reside in practically every geographic region in the United States, with substantial variation regarding what proportion of that region is populated with LGB people. Given this variation, I analyze whether denser LGB congressional districts have an effect on individuals’ views on relationship recognition rights for same-sex couples. LGB population density could have two potential effects: normalizing contac…
