Cisgender LGBTQ+ people have overwhelmingly positive view of trans community, study finds
The vast majority of cisgender LGBTQ+ people in the UK have a positive view of transgender people, a groundbreaking new survey has found.
According to research conducted by YouGov, which was released on 11 August, just eight per cent of cis gay, lesbian and bisexual Britons hold a negative view of their trans peers.
An overwhelming 75 per cent, however, said they have a positive one, while 17 per cent claimed to be neutral. Cis lesbians and bisexual women in particular were likely to have positive feelings towards the trans community, the results showed.
Approximately 84 per cent of this group held a positive view, 66-68 per cent of which was “very positive”. Cis gay and bisexual men held a “very positive” view at rates of 43 and 44 per cent, respectively.
