A Kompas Research and Development survey shows that the majority, or 46.8%, of Indonesians view the image of transgender women ("transpuan") negatively.

However, the survey found that not all perceptions of this marginalized group are negative. This is evident in the Kompas Research and Development survey results.

Specifically, 65.6% of respondents viewed transgender women as confident, independent, and resilient. Furthermore, 60.2% perceived them as cheerful.

Another 51.1% described transgender women as possessing a strong artistic spirit.

The majority of respondents also disagreed with the notion that transgender women are morally corrupting (51.5%), a societal disgrace (54.3%), or spreaders of HIV/AIDS (52.9%).

However, 58.9% of respondents considered transgender women to be deviant or mentally ill.

This survey was conducted from July 5-7, 2022, involving 504 respondents aged 17 and above from 34 provinces. The sample was randomly selected with a 95% confidence level and a margin of error of approximately 4.37%.
