The number of people who think a transgender person should not be able to change the sex written on their birth certificate has risen to 70 percent, up from 47 percent in 2019.

The British Social Attitudes report is based on interviews with thousands of people and it showed that while support for abortion and acceptance of same-sex relationships had risen, there had been a marked dip in liberal attitudes on the transgender issue.
