I wonder why screaming at people and calling them bigots didn't work? It's a real puzzler.

Awwww nooooo. Poor KM. reality is a bitch isn’t it

CrossStichQueen · 20/07/2022 15:11

Oh dear seem KM is very unhappy and can no longer use the line "the majority of the UK support transwomen in women's spaces".

It was bound to happen given the recent exposure if Stonewall and GIDS along with the Karen Whites and Lua Thomas's.

The framing of this article seems enormously slanted and/or confused.

'those with the most anti-trans views are much more likely to say they pay no attention to the debate. If we use those who say that a person should not be able to change their gender status legally or even socially as our example, 38% of this group say they pay no attention to the trans debate at all, compared to 6% who say they give it “a lot” of attention.'

Anyone who questions whether the GRA is effective, safe, and clear legislation is 'anti-trans'? Is there even such a thing as 'legal gender'? A GRC changes legal sex, no? More clarity required.

The TRAs on Twitter talking about it aren't very happy.

They ask the question twice re women's (and men's) toilets and changing rooms, so both with and without mentioning that the trans people have not yet had gender reassignment surgery. This is the same as the earlier YouGov survey in 2020. Attitudes are becoming less tolerant of males in female spaces in both cases.

It’s all the sunlight I think….

I couldn't see. Does this poll differentiate between intact LARPers claiming to be transwomen and people who have had their male genitalia removed?

Yes, it's pretty detailed, though I found the format wasn't very intuitive.

'or the purposes of this survey, “transgender” was defined to respondents as “someone who identifies as a different gender to their sex at birth, including people who identify as being non-binary”.'

Yes, it's interesting how people's attitudes are changing now the era of No Debate is over.
