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.

Anyone got a share token for that article by Kirkup?

Dh had his British Attitudes Survey and only got asked one question on the transgender subject. Dh was asked something like whether he was prejudiced against trans gender people, obviously he isn't, but no questions on whether he'd be happy for them go in his toilet.

The whole interview took about an hour and a half so I wonder if not everyone gets asked the same questions. Very annoying as I spent hours discussing it with him tellling him how to answer.
