Birth gender should dictate sports participation, 69% of Americans say in new poll

And that percentage has gone up since Lia Thomas burst onto the college swimming scene

Newsroom June 19 12:04

In a new Gallup poll released Monday, 69% of Americans say Lia Thomas and other biological males, who are now dominating their sports, should only be allowed to play on sports teams that match their birth gender.

And that percentage has gone up since Lia Thomas burst onto the college swimming scene and was immediately called out by OutKick for demolishing biological female swimming records. In May 2021, 62% of Americans said transgender athletes should only be allowed to play on sports teams that match their birth gender.
