This statistic shows the results of a survey conducted in 2016 among adult Americans on whether they favor or oppose equal protection laws for transgender people in jobs, housing and accommodations. The survey comes in the wake of the introduction and severe criticism of the so-called "North Carolina bathroom laws", which would require transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding to their birth gender rather than to their gender identity. During this survey, 75 percent of respondents stated they favor equal protection laws for transgender people in jobs, housing and public accommodations.
