Transgender people suffer from others' negative attitudes in many situations. The university context is one environment where further progress has to be made to ensure the inclusion of transgender people. In this study, a sample of 376 undergraduate students was collected and their attitudes towards transgender people were analyzed. A comparison was made between number of years in university, and a sample from the general public. In addition, comparisons were made by gender, since the literature shows more negative attitudes toward transgender people in men than in women. The results show relatively positive attitudes toward transgender people among higher education students, but they have little knowledge of transgender identity. In turn, researchers found significant differences between different years in the university and between genders. These results support the need to expand knowledge about transgender people in the university environment.
跨性别者在许多情况下都会遭受他人的负面态度。大学环境是一个需要进一步取得进展以确保跨性别者被包容的环境。在这项研究中，收集了 376 名本科生的样本，并分析了他们对跨性别者的态度。将在大学的年限与一般公众的样本进行了比较。此外，还按性别进行了比较，因为文献表明男性对跨性别者的态度比女性更消极。研究结果表明，高等教育学生对跨性别者的态度相对较为积极，但他们对跨性别认同的了解甚少。反过来，研究人员发现不同年份的大学生和不同性别的学生之间存在显著差异。这些结果支持在大学环境中扩展对跨性别者的了解的必要性。
