Hungarians continue to reject gender ideology: according to a poll by the Fundamental Rights Center, the proportion of those who support the creation of natural sexes has even increased. More than two-thirds of those surveyed, 71 percent, believe that being a woman or a man is an innate quality of a person - this rate was 69 percent four months ago.

The massive majority of Hungarian society rejects the questioning of biological sex. More and more Hungarians believe that the age at birth is not an innate quality of a person. While previously 69 percent of the voting-age population held this position, 71 percent already held this position during the August research. The proportion of those who believe that female or male gender is purely a matter of individual decision has also decreased. While at the time of the April data collection, 22 percent were of the opinion that gender is merely a social construct, by August only 17 percent thought so.

According to the nationally representative research, more than two-thirds (68 percent) of the adult population believe that there are only two genders, female and male (this was "only" 66 percent in April). Now, 22 percent of the respondents believed that there are no more than two: in the spring, almost a quarter of people said this - in other words, the proportion of those who question the non-traditional nature of men and women has decreased.

In addition to the rejection of gender ideology, the position regarding child protection is even clearer. Compared to April's data , the number of those who would not allow gender reassignment surgery to be performed on minor children continued to increase. Nine out of ten people believe that these interventions should not be performed on minors, and only 3 percent of Hungarians have the opposite opinion.

Overall, it can be said that more than two-thirds of Hungarians reject gender ideology, and at the same time, the number of those who stand for created genders and their immutability is increasing. It can also be stated that the proportion of Hungarians who agree with child protection measures is also increasing.

The forces of common sense are therefore gaining wider social support in Hungary.
