UNASSIGNED: We built a Qualtrics™ survey derived from an online validated 2017 Ipsos survey and distributed it to American adults through Amazon Mechanical Turk. Associations of demographic characteristics with perception of GAS were determined using multinomial logistic regression.
UNASSIGNED: Respondents (n=312) were predominantly non-Hispanic White (69.2%), held a bachelor\'s degree (64.7%), and reported an annual income of $25,000 to $74,999 (64.4%). Approximately half of respondents identified as socially liberal (50.3%); 34.0% as socially conservative; and 15.7% as neither. Respondents supported a right to GAS independent of anatomy and insurance. Support for transgender children (62%) was less than for adult transgender men (84%) and women (83%). Despite supporting a right to GAS, respondents agreed that transgender adults (67%) and children (74%) would regret GAS. Education was the strongest predictor of support for GAS rights. Socially conservative respondents were significantly more likely than nonideological or liberal respondents to believe that transgender people would regret GAS.
UNASSIGNED: This large online sample of American adults with diverse ideologies demonstrated support for GAS independent of anatomical site and insurance. Support of GAS for transgender children is robust, although lower than support for adults. Despite broad support, most laypersons believe that transgender people would regret GAS.
■我们建立了一项Qualtrics™调查,该调查源自经过在线验证的2017年Ipsos调查,并通过AmazonMechanicalTurk将其分发给美国成年人。使用多项逻辑回归确定人口统计学特征与GAS感知的关联。
■受访者(n=312)主要是非西班牙裔白人(69.2%),拥有学士学位(64.7%),并报告年收入为25,000美元至74,999美元(64.4%)。大约一半的受访者认为是社会自由主义者(50.3%);34.0%的社会保守主义者;15.7%的人都不是。受访者支持独立于解剖和保险的GAS权利。对变性儿童的支持(62%)低于成年变性男性(84%)和女性(83%)。尽管支持GAS的权利,受访者认为,跨性别的成年人(67%)和儿童(74%)会后悔GAS。教育是支持GAS权利的最强预测指标。社会保守的受访者比非意识形态或自由主义者更有可能相信变性人会后悔GAS。
■这个具有不同意识形态的美国成年人的大型在线样本证明了对GAS的支持,而与解剖部位和保险无关。GAS对变性儿童的支持是强有力的,虽然低于成人的支持。尽管广泛支持,大多数外行人认为变性人会后悔GAS。
