Political science and transgender people

Political science studies the theory and practice of government and politics at all levels:

• local
• state/province
• regional
• national
• international

Some political scientists have studied the transgender rights movement. In one notable study, David Broockman and Joshua Kalla found that door-to-door canvassing reduced anti-transgender attitudes among the Americans they measured.
