The Republican sub-sample tells a different story. In 2020, 6.9% of 18–22-year-olds who identified as Republican said they were transgender. After that, the number basically vanished. In 2021 it was statistically zero, and in 2024 it was just 0.8%. I don’t want to stray too far into hot-take territory, but it seems that around 2021 the Republican Party drew a clear “bright line” on this issue—and when that happened, the idea of trans Republicans all but disappeared.
