IPSOS Pride survey 2025

[ArabellaSaurus]

'For this survey, Ipsos interviewed a total of 19,028 adults aged 18-74 in Canada, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Türkiye, and the United States, 20-74 in Thailand, 21-74 in Singapore, and 16-74 in all other countries.'

This was released back in the summer, but PinkNews picked it up this week.

The survey itself (as well as PinkNews) sites itself very much on the side of LGBTQIA+ activism, framing any disagreement with TQ+ inclusive policies/ideas as regressive or 'anti'. But it's a useful, broadbrush snapshot of global trends.

Some notable quotes:

'...some companies have scaled back, or completely scrapped, Pride initiatives this year.
Four years ago, almost half (49% on average across 23 countries) said they supported companies/brands actively promoting equality for LGBT people. By 2024, that support had fallen five points to 44% and has now dipped year-over-year to 41% (with 23% currently opposed). '

'...Support for specific trans rights, in particular, remains fairly low in the U.S. and globally.
For example, those in favor of government-issued documents, such as passports, including an option other than "male" and "female" for people who do not identify as either has dropped slightly to 38% in America (-3pp since 2024) and to 46% (-6pp) on average across 23 countries*.'

'Notably almost half (48%) of Americans now oppose government-issued documents including an option other than "male" and "female", compared to 40% at a global level.'

'The proportion in favor of transgender athletes competing based on the gender they identify with is down 10 points to 22% since 2021. '

Pink News report:

'While Britons are typically in favour of LGBTQ+ rights generally, the majority of respondents hit a road block when it came to “single-sex spaces”.
Asked whether trans people should be allowed to access so-called “single-sex spaces”, such as public toilets or changing rooms, 54 per cent of people said no, the highest of any country surveyed.
Great Britain ranked second-from-lowest in support for trans teens accessing life-saving gender-affirming healthcare, with 47 per cent opposing their right to do so. It also ranked second from bottom on allowing trans people to change sex markers on government documents, with 52 per cent opposing.
An overwhelming 61 per cent, meanwhile, disagreed with trans athletes competing in competitions consistent with their gender identity, compared to just 15 per cent supporting it.'

Terf Island is the thorn in the side of this ideology

Pink News doesn’t give a shit about gay teens only trans teens.

How is supporting teens to have ‘gender affirming healthcare’ life saving???

Surely getting decent mental health support to help teens navigate growing up and learning to accept who they actually are, rather than their imaginary self is going to be actually life saving as it will give them the tools to navigate growing up?

so-called “single-sex spaces”

🙄🙄🙄

' Support for transgender athletes down 10 points to 22% since 2021 Only 22%(on average across 23 countries) are in favor of trans athletes competing based on the gender they identify with rather than the sex they were assigned at birth in 2025, down from 27%in 2024 and 32%in 2021. Support is now highest in Thailand (50%) and lowest in Hungary (11%).'

Out of the countries surveyed, Thailand repeatedly scored considerably higher than all others in favour of what one might call trans-affirming rights and care.

Q. To what extent do you support or oppose the following: Government-issued documents such as passports should include an option other than "male" and "female" for people who do not identify as either?

'Q. With parental consent, transgender teenagers should be allowed to receive gender affirming care (e.g., counselling and hormone replacement treatment)

UK 37% agree/ 47% disagree'
