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
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%
Ofc most people aren't permaonline retards 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.

are there actual percentages for this? it just shows difference to the baseline

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
Cooper Perry
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?
Jackson Russell
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.
>shouldn't pee until you get grs >shouldn't get grs diaperbros...

You being allowed to live should be victory enough.

You are entitled brats

The terms of the negotiation have changed bitch. 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.

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.
Zachary Phillips
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.

>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 user, 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.
Colton Fisher
yes it was
Julian Morgan
Weak bait, go back
Elijah Reyes
damn, people like us about as much as travellers lol
Zachary Bennett
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.
