Nearly 90%!? That's it?

Seven out of the remaining ten are just afraid they'll offend somebody if they told the truth.

This is why I don't put much stock in "studies" that depend on self-reporting (regardless of the subject) - some number of respondents are going to answer the way they think they are expected or "supposed" to answer. Also (among other things, such as lack of definitional rigor, unreproducibility, etc., etc.), you've got the problem of how the queries are worded or presented, which can have a strong influence on how they are answered - even when no rhetorical manipulation is intended by the interviewer or questionnaire author.

But in this particular case, the manipulation (at least in the reporting of the results) is obviously intentional - since only the willfully obtuse can pretend to be baffled as to how or why "most people are not interested in dating transgender people." And that ridiculously ham-fisted title gives away the game all by itself, since only the most obliviously idiotic and incompetent of psychologists would be unable to "figure out why hardly anyone wants to date a trans person." I mean, hell, even a freshman psych student could hand you a line about "how individuals experience the range of their choices as being delimited by prevailing social norms" or some such thing (and no doubt "woke" psychologists could and would give you a litany on the psychically harmful bigotries exhibited by the binarily cis-gendered).

"Can't Figure Out Why," my ass ...
