The Supreme Court ruling that trans women are not legally women has been backed by a majority of Labour voters.

A poll of more than 2,500 people found that 42 per cent of Labour voters agreed with the Supreme Court judgement that transgender women are not legally women under the Equality Act.

A third – 32 per cent – disagreed with it, while 12 per cent did not know.

The findings, the first major polling since the ruling, suggest that Sir Keir Starmer’s previously equivocal statements on transgender women are out of touch with the majority of his party voters.

In fact, with the exception of the Green Party, it looks like the majority of people who expressed an opinion in all parties actually agreed with the ruling. That’s good to hear.

Hmm that's only 84%, off to read the article to find out how the other 16% voted
