一项最新调查发现,在经历了争论激烈的十年后,跨性别者对社会接纳度的感觉更加悲观,该组织领导人正在艰难的水域中规划航向。根据英国最高法院去年关于女性定义的裁决以来首个大型分析报告,跨性别者担心社会接纳度正在倒退,一些人正从公共空间撤退。

Leader is charting a course through troubled waters as a new survey finds trans people feel more pessimistic about social acceptance after combative decade Transgender people fear social acceptance is going into reverse and some are retreating from public spaces, according to the first major analysis since last year’s supreme court ruling in the UK on the definition of a woman.

石墙组织调查发现,虽然近一半的英国LGBTQ+群体感到比十年前更能被社会接纳,但58%的跨性别+群体——以及75%的跨性别女性——感觉不那么能被接纳了。近一半的跨性别+群体现在避免去那些他们觉得不安全的酒吧和餐馆,37%的人避免使用厕所和更衣室等单一性别空间,29%的人避免参加健身课或运动队。令人瞩目的一大情况是,80%的人对平等的未来感到悲观,这与2017年就同一问题进行调查时所表达的总体希望形成了鲜明对比。

The Stonewall survey finds that while almost half of British LGBTQ+ people feel more accepted by society than a decade ago, 58% of trans+ people – and 75% of trans women – feel less so. Almost half of trans+ people now avoid certain bars and restaurants where they do not feel safe, 37% avoid single-sex spaces such as toilets and changing rooms, and 29% avoid exercise classes or sports teams. A striking 80% are pessimistic about the future of equality, in stark contrast to the net hope expressed when the same question was asked in 2017.
