Key Points

Spain and Sweden top the list for support for transgender rights.

Spain was the only country where a majority of our sample support allowing people to change their legal gender designation without restriction.

  • Most respondents in two-thirds of these countries said transgender people should be “allowed to use the restroom of the sex they identify with.”
