A new survey reveals that almost half of the millennials polled, those aged between 25-34, think that referring to a transgender person by the wrong pronouns should be a criminal offense.
The survey, by Redfield & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek, polled 1,500 eligible voters in the United States.
According to the survey by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, 44 percent of those aged 25-34 think “referring to someone by the wrong gender pronoun (he/him, she/her) should be a criminal offense,” versus just 31 percent who disagree. The remainder “neither agree nor disagree” or “don’t know.”
This view remains popular for those aged 35-44, among whom 38 percent think misgendering should be illegal,
