Causes minimal to no disruption for daily life. See no issue
The only people who have a problem with this are people who either don’t understand that this doesn’t actually affect them at all or the people who *do* understand that it doesn’t affect them but pretend that they don’t because they hate transgender people.
This is quite curious to me.
I don’t necessarily agree with the idea of transgenderism based on the science.
But the real truth of the matter is who the fuck really gives a shit how someone else chooses to identify. It’s none of my or anyone elses business how people choose to live their lives when that choice has absolutely no negative consequence on others.
People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and if the new self identification rules go some way to helping people live with dignity and respect then it’s a good thing.
No surprises, this indicates majority of young people, and majority of women of all ages are pro changes
Couple of interesting tidbits from the study:
Broad approval was highest with the two youngest age groups and women, regardless of whether the questions were about trans women or trans men. However once the poll began digging into specific scenarios approval did seem to start dropping with those groups. For example:
“Trans women should be allowed to use single-sex spaces (public toilets and changing rooms were the examples given)”
…if they identify as female and have legally changed sex but have not had GRS: 13% of men and 16% of women agreed (21% of 16-24 year olds and 21% of 25-34 year olds).
This rose to 37% of men and 33% of women if they had had GRS, but the really strange bit was that it didn’t really rise at all with the two youngest age groups. It rose substantially for all other age groups.
When it came to questions like “trans people should have to disclose to sex parners their sex assigned at birth”, there was basically no difference in responses between men and women, with 58% of men and 51% of women saying they should have to disclose.
Whether people should be able to change their legal sex to non-binary was basically split down the middle for both men and women, with 32% of men and 38% of women saying yes and 43% of men and 35% of women saying no (and the rest saying they didn’t know).
But in general, it seems that support trended younger (under 35) and for most questions, women were slightly to significantly more likely to express support. This was the same for questions about trans women and trans men – I didn’t spot any glaring differences in support or opposition when the genders were switched for questions.
