Research from YouGov shows that Americans narrowly tend to favor (39%) rather than oppose (34%) laws which require transgender people to use the bathroom used by people of their birth gender, not their current gender, though over a quarter don’t take a stance either way. Most Republicans (55%) and many independents (40%) support prohibiting transgender people from using their current gender’s bathroom, but even 27% of Democrats agree. 46% of Democrats do think, however, that transgender people should be able to use the bathrooms of their current gender.

The split is exactly even when Americans are asked which bathrooms transgender people should use, with 37% saying they should use their birth gender and 37% saying their current gender. This split is due largely to people in the South, however. The South is the only region where people are more likely to say that transgender people should use their birth gender’s bathrooms (41%) rather than their current gender’s (30%). In every other region people tend to say that they should use their current gender’s bathrooms.
