> YouGov poll shows support for sex meaning biological sex in the Equality Act - Sex Matters

QUOTE
Compared with mid-2022, support for allowing trans-identifying males into women’s spaces and sport has fallen. Almost three-quarters of all respondents believe women’s sport should exclude all males regardless of claimed identity.
As before, when told that many “transgender women” do not have surgery, support for their access to women’s spaces is less.
An overall majority of respondents support changing the Equality Act so that sex is defined as meaning “biological sex”. This support is across all major political parties.
In the new poll, conducted on 19th December 2024, the number of people answering “don’t know” was lower across all the questions compared to the May 2022 poll, suggesting greater awareness and/or more confidence to express a view.
