Abstract

Negative attitudes toward transgender persons, attitudes toward lesbians and gay men, attitudes toward women, and gender role beliefs were examined. Beliefs about the controllability of transgender identity and religion were also examined. All attitudinal measures were found to have a nonsignificant relationship to interactions and exposure to transgender individuals.
