ITT I will post the most interesting stats from the recently released YouGov poll on transgender issues so we can discuss. TLRD : The 5 years of anti-trans moral panic in the media on a daily basis has had a large and overwhelmingly negative impact on how people view trans people and their rights across the board for every demographic. Sorry UK tran bros, this will not be a fun thread, but you likely already knew this.
>The key finding from our third major study into trans attitudes is that support for trans access rights has eroded since 2018, a shift which has taken place across all social groups

Most Britons have paid little to no attention to the trans rights debate in the media and politics
A lot: 8%
A fair amount: 27%
Not much: 42%
None at all: 24%
The Tory leadership candidates have gone out of their way to set out their views on trans rights, but their own voters pay little attention to the issue
Con voters: 25% a lot-fair amount of attention / 76% little-no attention
Lab voters: 53% / 47%
By 49% to 37%, Britons say that prejudice against trans people is a problem in Britain today. This puts it in line with views on prejudice against Asian, Black and disabled people
Major 16%
Significant 33%
Not much of a problem 26%
No problem at all 11%
damn, people like us about as much as travellers lol
>Support an almost every issue is down
>support across every demographic is down
>This island is cursed
are there actual percentages for this? it just shows difference to the baseline
Sorry anon, here's a link to the YouGov site https://yougov.co.uk/topics/lifestyle/articles-reports/2022/07/20/where-does-british-public-stand-transgender-rights
>shouldn't pee until you get grs
>shouldn't get grs
diaperbros...
Ofc most people aren't permaonline morons like trannies and incels
Weirdly the only thing to shift to be more positive, is in relation to the thing the media has spent the most time scaremongering about, the GRA reform.
Support for the reform is UP despite endless negative columns and adverts claiming it will allow predators to rape women. The game could not be rigged more in transphobes favour and they still can't manage to get the public to be mad about birth certificates, which is why they have to conflate GRA reform with access to spaces.
Bathroom ban incoming
>When it comes to trans access to gendered facilities, attitudes have become less permissive. What is notable here is that virtually ALL of the shift has taken place since 2020
Could have shut up and taken your victories
instead you push until people want you in camps
shiggy
we've never had victories, besides the DIY boom and that was incidental. everything else was just a pyrrhic victory at best, which often sparked backlash. that's why it's actually good that the real conflict is starting now, it gives us something to actually win. even if we "lose" (until the next generation), at least we're not in a dormant state anymore. they literally cannot ignore or erase our existence like they've done in the past, they're all infected with TDS and we are an established part of culture now. the genie is out of the bottle on that one.
You being allowed to live should be victory enough.
You are entitled brats
The terms of the negotiation have changed b***h. We got to this point of acceptance from the very dregs of ignorance and hate. Youre naive to think we won't continue fighting for freedom alongside others.
Weak bait, go back
shut the frick up, feminist
>If only you hadn't gone too far the people who've dedicated their entire lives and careers to making you look as bad as possible to the general public would have not done that.
Take your pills anon, the thing that kicked off the 'trans panic' in the UK was asking for GRA reform, which is a tiny and inconsequential update to existing policy to adjust for the completely inaccessible GIC system. If THAT was enough to produce a bunch of transphobes pumping out daily articles, they would have done so anyway.
You don't understand, anon. That was essentially asking them to fix the NHS and make it function as advertised, which is a legitimate threat to their bottom line.
It's so horrible, literally, nobody thinks this through at all, they're going to make every bathroom a risk of getting legitimately arrested for gnc people trans or cis in order to combat this idea they have in their heads of rapist trans women that was never really accurate in the first place.
This to me is the most interesting graph.
85% of Brits don't have a trans friend, relative or coworker. It's 88% if you don't include coworkers. People who don't any trans people are far more critical of our rights - because these are the people who get their views entirely from the media and have no idea what our lives are actually like.
Funny how even cis people with trans friends or relatives think trans under 18s should be subjected to dysgenic puberty
Wasn't that recent yougov poll heavily brigades by terfs?
yes it was
Legally speaking, trans rights in the UK haven't improved since the Equality Act 2010. The last 12 years hasn't had any real legal victories for trans people, with the exception of setting precedent that trans women are legally allowed to use women's toilets after the AEA ruling.
The ways in which things have gotten worse are largely the product of our collapsing medical system - 30 year waiting lists, treatment for under 18s effectively ended, taking a decade to get psych approval to change your legal sex etc.
this is exactly right. The claim that trans people pushed too hard is laughable when you see that even the most trivial of things we ask for that affect no one else are blown out of proportion and turned into a 7+ year debate.
When the Tories promised to reform the GRA process they did so because they knew it was throwing us a bone and in the wake of legalising gay marriage it was an easy symbolic victory for looking good on LGBT rights. Nobody gave a shit about any of this stuff until the press invented the myth that trans people wanted the law changed so that switching your legal sex is a speech act so that trannies can commit rape with impunity.
I hope every one of our activists is extremely proud of themselves for this absolute disaster
I don't think any group of people have done more damage to their own cause than the current crop of trans activists who can't shut the frick up about communism, abolishing gender, and letting trans women compete in sports
Because the general public was obviously swayed in their opinions by twitter, and not the literal daily headlines in the mail, telegraph and times being like
>RAPIST EVIL MONSTER CROSSDRESSING MEN COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
When all they see in people's interactions with trans people is accusations of transphobia and shouting down instead of conversation is it any wonder that they become more susceptible to that kind of messaging?
Take some responsibility for what you've done
deworm yourself with a gun, moron
Nice job proving my point
im not a TRA, i'm just a poster who thinks you are stupid as frick and should have a nice day. this isn't activism, this is just posting.
Why do they do this?
>i disagree with homophobia and transphobia, the massive anti trans propaganda wave is evil
>but you are all a hive mind that cancelled too many people and you brought this to yourself
Lik you do know not everyone is on twitter right? You do know that the whole "cancel culture is ruining the world" bit is just more rightoid propaganda right?
That's not how they think and they aren't all on Twitter
This shit is on every piece of social media, especially Facebook and YouTube
Go open your wrists in the bath you c**t
you're either a /misc/tard or the most pathetically cucked kind of troony. get the frick out of /lgbt/ chud. i'm sure you'll think "i was right about the TRAs going too far" when they send a boiled egg looking britoid man to yank you out of the womans restroom you worthless bitterhon.
You're genuinely fricking moronic if you think that trans people are responsible for people not wanting trans women to use women's bathrooms, rather than the literal endless media coverage calling trans people dangerous rapist perverts
it's like that one spa in California that was accused of allowing a trans woman to flash a little girl in a locker room, nearly causing a riot, which was then revealed to be completely untrue.
Yup, this. Before I get mad at any anti-trans people, I'd get mad at people pushing things like self ID or drag queen story hours. Thanks, you stupid, short-sighted morons.
>50% of people think it shouldn't be easier to change our legal gender
>60% support doctors dictating it
>43% think trans people shouldn't be allowed to piss in women's toilets
>39% think allowing trans women in women's spaces is harmful
>41% think we shouldn't get hormones on the NHS
>44% think surgeries shouldn't be given on the NHS
>68% are opposed to any kind of medical transition for under-16s
this country is a dumpster fire, most people who live here are complete scum no cap
I was going to stop repping soon but really what’s the fricking point. I don’t want to be hated like this. I wish I was normal so bad, I wish I didn’t have these thoughts. It’s so unfair
to add to the blackpills
>around 50% of people with a trans family member or friend don't think trans women should be allowed in women's toilets or rape shelters
>around 50% of people with a trans family member or friend don't think NHS should cover HRT
>around 50% of people with a trans family member or friend think trans women are a threat to women's rights
>only 22% of those with a trans friend or family member think HRT should be available for trans children
trans separatism seems to be the only way, even cis 'friends' think we're subhuman
jesus christ, DIY is really the only option left
Quality data you got there. Good food for discussion.
also, lol TERF island
