Theresa May vowed to reform the Gender Recognition Act at the PinkNews Awards in October 2017, in order to reflect that "being trans is not an illness", with plans including the removal of bureaucratic stoppages within the process of changing a person's gender on their birth certificate.

But a new poll for PinkNews found that only 18 per cent of voters, and 13 per cent of Conservative voters, agree with updating the Gender Recognition Act to reflect more informed attitudes towards being transgender.

That is really interesting - as it is a poll for Pink News you would have expected those polled to be much more supportive of bringing in self id TBH.

Dare we consider that the poll suggests common sense is prevailing on this issue, despite all the propaganda and false suicide statistics etc?

It mostly makes me wonder how many comments Pink News deletes from readers who're not buying the TRA line any more than the women here are.

Bet they're not told that it's inflammatory for too many of them to speak at once though.

Good. More polling. I've been saying for ages that this is exactly what we need.

Personally, I think the results do actually reflect more informed opinion - not to being transgender, but to the demands of the extremist transactivists.

The Tories are only saying "trans isn't a mental illness" etc so that they can remove the NHS's funding for it. The TRAs have met their manipulative match with the conservatives....
