also the snappy headline saya 91% sure, but looking at the article
86% agree or strongly agree that government and opposition should not politicise trans issues for political gain
89% agree or strongly agree that LGBT people deserve to live with dignity and respect
91% agree or strongly agree that trans people should have the freedom and choice to live their lives in the way that makes them happy
81% agree of strongly agree that trans people deserve the same rights and protections as other Australians
for reference the population was 26million at the last census, and 91% of that is something like 23,660,000, so there’s still a few million people who’d love to attack queer people, i’ve met plenty, but honestly most people dngaf about trans people, and have not met one irl
