Americans have a long and noble tradition of opposing discrimination against particular groups of minorities...and then directly advocating for specific policies that discriminate against them and against those that would prevent it.
For instance, the whole "gay people shouldn't be discriminated against" thing but then also agreeing that gay couples should have to pay higher tax rates and then also have no recourse for the seamless transfer of property.
Was there anything in the poll asking whether or not trans people should be able to alter their government documents to reflect their identity? I could see that being one of those where a majority disapprove. On the other hand, the concept of trans on a global level in many places (and among a shockingly large % of Americans) has had more acceptance with regards to it not being a choice or being a natural concept.
