About 80 percent people said they do not discriminate against effeminate men or masculine women, according to a survey published in Thursday's China Youth Daily.

According to the newspaper's report, more than 33 percent of 2,019 respondents to an online survey said "gender benders" are "acceptable" or "very acceptable" to them.

Moreover, over 46 percent of respondents said they feel neutral about this issue. Only 20 percent said they cannot accept such people.
