William Brangham speaks with Melissa Deckman, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute, to learn more about the data.

    Maybe it has something to do with the constant existential threat?

      True, but two ideas can be correct. As a species when we’re divided we are arguably at our worst.

        Agreed, but it’s ignorant (at best) to suggest that trans people are responsible for social division rather than the right-wing groups actively trying to eradicate trans people.

        It’d be like blaming Jews for socially dividing Germany in the interwar era.

          Smh. It was probably not smart to engage here. I really was trying to have a good faith conversation. I absolutely think that trans folks and LGBTQ+ and everyone else should absolutely be able to have every freedom and liberty to live their lives and pursue happiness without threats of any kind. Period.
