Political Science faculty members Tatishe Nteta, Adam Eichen and Jesse Rhodes, and doctoral student Lane Cuthbert, have authored an article on reasons behind antagonism toward transgender rights. The article, which includes UMass Amherst poll data, reveals “Trump is not alone in attacking the rights of transgender Americans. In 2025, 53 bills have been introduced in the U.S. Congress and over 900 bills have been introduced in 49 states that aim to limit the rights of transgender Americans in education, health care and athletics, according to the Trans Legislation Tracker,” the authors write.
