Sorry, my mistake...98% ;)

I want to see how Pink News spin this.

I mean the obvious angle is "mean nasty world everyone's transhopbic poor ickle us", but ya know, that's getting really lame and boring now, because they have boy-who-cried-wolf-it to death.

I suppose we could get a passing mention given our "radicalisation portal" status, but then PN wouldn't want to credit MN with that much influence?

It's a dilemma for sure...

Joss thinks this survey is far more representative.

However it’s less recent (graph at the start goes up to 2016) and the wording of the question is really ambiguous:

Please think about a transgender woman - that is a man who has gone through all or part of a process to become a woman. How comfortable or uncomfortable would you be for a transgender woman to use female public toilets?

“all or part of a process”

It very much does not specify that this can include male-bodied people with fully-functioning penises, who as we all now realise probably make up 80% of “transwomen”.

I bet if this survey had spelled that out the figures would be different...

To be fair on Josh, it's an opinion and it's valid as any other.
Honestly I'm not on twitter but I don't really get the picking apart or random twitter people.
At the end of the day it's a times poll.

Joss’s other opinions include that Times survey voters are all brainwashed right-wingers. Joss is entitled to that opinion too of course

It's no different to people here saying those that support self ID are brainwashed.

Who says that?

"They drank the kool aid" is said slot, I've only just found out what it means.

8 403 VOTES but percentages not showing

97% No

"Should everyone who identifies as female have access to women-only spaces?"
Well, the vote closed today with 9,816 votes, of which 97% said no...

Good.

Now they know what their readers think, beyond doubt.

Are they writing this up for the Sunday Times? (I think I read they were but can't remember!)

Wonder if that one will be quoted as much as the 48% Suicide Lie

Under 300 people said yes?

Strange.

Poll closed with 9,816 votes. 97% No

This is the problem isn't it. It doesn't matter how many MPs say TWAW and take away female only spaces, how are they going to manage and police it when women say no?

Or are they just hoping that women won't say no, and just remove themselves?

Oops cross posted flower. Just call me your echo

SYLA The result deserves the emphasis.

Women'll just remove themselves, where they can.

Changing the law isn't going to change the mind and experience of the 97%

Under 300 people said yes?

Strange

I think it was the "hardline" wording of the question.
If it were
"Do you think Transgender people should be treated as their chosen gender?" The results would have been quite different.

Obviously the consequences of "treating people as their chosen gender" means males who identify as women in women's spaces, but people rarely think this through.
