New survey reveals 91% of UK trans people distrust the Labour Party
"The YouGov poll, commissioned by the Good Law Project, surveyed the views of 457 trans, non-binary, and intersex adults. It found that 91 per cent of trans people surveyed said they distrusted Labour with trans rights, with the Conservative Party scoring 96 per cent. Labour leader Keir Starmer has made several U-turns on his previous positions about the trans community, including appearing to no longer agree that trans women are women."
"The survey's results, which follow Wes Streeting's permanent ban on puberty blockers and the party's abandonment of a manifesto to make the process of gender recognition easier, contrast with YouGov's tracker, which found that 62 per cent of Britons think Labour is ""untrustworthy", while only 15 per cent consider the party "trustworthy"."
"@pinknews Education secretary Bridget Phillipson seemed unable to provide an answer after a trans woman quizzed her about where she's allowed to go to the toilet. During an interview with trans journalist and writer Izzy Dine, published online on Tuesday (21 October), the women and equalities minister was asked what bathroom she thought Dine and other trans women should currently be using."
A YouGov poll commissioned by the Good Law Project surveyed 457 trans, non-binary, and intersex adults and found 91% distrusted Labour on trans rights while 96% distrusted the Conservatives. The findings follow Wes Streeting's permanent ban on puberty blockers and Labour abandoning a manifesto pledge to simplify the gender recognition process. Keir Starmer has reversed previous positions and appeared to distance himself from saying trans women are women. The poll contrasts with a wider YouGov tracker showing 62% of Britons view Labour as untrustworthy and 15% as trustworthy, and coincides with scrutiny of Bridget Phillipson's LGBTQ+ record.
