A 2020 report published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has illustrated that the number of British citizens who feel comfortable with trans women using single sex spaces such as public toilets has fallen by 10% since the last survey which was conducted in 2016.
The report -Attitudes to transgender people – incorporated data from the 2019 NatCen’s British Social Attitudes survey.
It indicated that 80% in total believed that they are not prejudiced against transgender people, with a further 76% saying that transphobia is ‘always or mostly wrong’.When asked to describe their feelings about transgender people, 3% of respondents said they felt ‘disgust’ and 16% said ‘pity’ – a 2% increase since the 2016 survey.
