I hadn't seen this Gender Identity Report survey thing until this morning. The survey questions - Appendix 1 - are absolutely risibly terrible. http://democracy.cityoflondon.gov.uk/documents/s113794/2019.04%20Gender%20Identity%20Report.pdf …
Qu 1: A person may come to feel that their gender is different from that assigned to them at birth? Well maybe, certainly seems to be the case, but so what - people come to feel all sorts of things about all sorts of things. Language - "assigned to them at birth" - is biased.

Qu 2: A person who consistently identifies in a gender which is different to the one they were assigned at birth should be accepted by society in their stated gender identity? Same biased language. Also hopelessly vague.

Accepted in what sense? In the sense that their metaphysical claims about their womanhood (for example) are treated as veridical? Accepted in the sense of not being victims of violence, etc, (well, of course). Access to women only services? What does it mean?
