Very strongly agree

No

Given the historical context, it is likely that Dewey would not have supported the inclusion of 'gender identity' in anti-discrimination laws. The concept of gender identity as we understand it today did not exist in the 1940s, and Dewey's political positions were largely conservative.

No, there are only two genders which are genetically not psychologically determined

Given the time period and prevailing societal norms, Dewey would likely have agreed with the idea that there are only two genders, determined genetically and not psychologically. However, it's important to note that the understanding of gender and biology has evolved significantly since Dewey's time.

Agree

No, we should address gender identity as a mental health issue and provide funds for more research and care

Given the understanding of gender and mental health in the 1940s, it is possible that Dewey would have seen gender identity issues as a mental health issue. However, this is speculative and based on the societal norms and medical understanding of the time.

Disagree

No, and repeal anti-discrimination laws for private companies

While Dewey was a conservative, he was also known for his moderate stances on many issues. It is unlikely that he would have supported the complete repeal of anti-discrimination laws for private companies.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and the government should do more to protect minorities from discrimination

While Dewey was known for his moderate stances, the concept of the government doing more to protect minorities from discrimination, particularly in the context of gender identity, would likely have been too progressive for his time.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Thomas E. Dewey, as a politician from the 1940s, would not have had a concept of 'gender identity' as it is understood today. The issue of gender identity and its inclusion in anti-discrimination laws is a relatively recent development, and it is unlikely that Dewey would have supported such a measure.
