Sex Matters survey on public attitudes towards women's rights. The splits on voting habits show why Starmer is swithering. :-(

I'm really surprised that, for example, more than 25% agreed that men who identify as women should use women's changing rooms.

And 34% of Labour voters want transwomen frisking school girls! (38% don't)

Sport issues seems to be best understood all round.

But even there, 1 in 4 people think it's ok for men who identify as women to compete in women's sport. That seems a lot to me!

Labour voters seem most split three ways between women's rights, undecideds and men's rights.

Sport issues seems to be best understood all round.

Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised that the numbers are as high as they are?

Yes maybe a bit less PhilnHolly and a bit more publicity for this. And other things that actually matter.

I wonder whether the BBC et al will acknowledge the forthcoming Westminster Debate. Guessing SM have released these results ahead of it.

They seem really useful stats to have

I hope these poll results are widely reported. Perhaps we can all start being braver in our face-to-face conversations.

They are an amazing organisation. I’ve been meaning to support them financially for some months and this has given me the incentive to get on and do it. The cost of living has hit hard, but I’ve just cancelled something and redirected the money to them.

I thought it was interesting that the stats for Tory voters and Lib Dem voters was broadly similar. Illustrating this isn’t just an issue for those on the right.

I'd like one of these surveys ask about the opinions on replacing 'women' and 'girls' with 'people who menstruate' or 'individuals with a cervix' and so on. IOW, about the erasure of the female sex class.

Well, Stonewall et al can stop saying most people agree with their position. Most people don't.
