Very strongly agree

No

The Republican Party strongly supports parental rights and opposes government intervention in family matters related to gender identity. This is reflected in legislative efforts and public statements by Republican officials, such as opposition to California's AB 957 (2023), which considered parental affirmation of gender identity in custody decisions. Republican leaders have argued that parents should not lose custody for misgendering their child, framing such proposals as threats to family autonomy and freedom of belief.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Republican Party has consistently opposed policies that would penalize parents for not affirming a child's gender identity, viewing such measures as government overreach and an infringement on parental rights. For example, Republican lawmakers have introduced and supported 'parental rights' bills at both state and federal levels, such as Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act (2022), which emphasize parental authority over children's upbringing, including issues of gender identity. The party's official platforms and public statements have also opposed efforts to remove children from homes based on parents' refusal to affirm a child's gender transition.
