Conversation May Change Attitudes on Transgender Rights

A short conversation may be all it takes to change some people's minds about equal rights for transgender people, according to a new study.

The study, published Thursday in Science, backs up the findings of much-discussed earlier research, which was retracted shortly after it was published because it had been fabricated.

In the new study, researchers sent canvassers in Miami door-to-door to have 10-minute conversations with about 500 voters.
