If you want an explanation of why the US has fallen so quickly to the right-wing on trans issues, look at how the New York Times - seen socially as a generally liberal outlet - coverage of trans issues has changed.

Here's NYT coverage of trans issues in the mid-1990's:

And here's NYT coverage in the mid-2020's:

30 years and we've moved this far backwards because of a conscious effort by media outlets on the center and center-left to elevate anti-trans bigotry as legitimate concerns.

Public opinion is not static, and what we learned in the fight for LGBTQ rights is that public opinion is greatly affected by how the media portrays a group or issue. We saw a huge swing in the approval of marriage equality and gay and lesbian relationships in large part because of positive media portayals of LGBTQ people.

The problem is, conservatives have also figured this out. They have had outlets like Fox and WSJ for decades, but they couldn't reach into the other side because of the toxic reputation of their outlets with anyone outside their 35% bubble. It wasn't until conservative billionaires (disguising themselves as centrists) started buying out liberals outlets and installing conservative editors in the past decade or so that this really changed. The ramp up in the past 3-4 years feels less stark because many liberals have been frog boiled into accepting conservative propaganda laundered through a "liberal" outlet.

talking about everyday things the way anti-sex weirdos talk about "porn addiction". oh you like to "take a nice walk outside"? don't you know that floods your brain with the addictive chemical dopamine, which is literally stronger than heroin? and you try to do it every day? that's. not. normal. i can't believe people try to justify and excuse this and act like Taking-A-Nice-Walk-Addiction isn't real
