I somewhat disagree with you. Especially on the sports thing. Both liberal and conservative men are not OK with their daughters playing against males. It's a very peaking issue. It's the gateway issue for men into trans discussion. For them though, it's an open and shut case. They don't hear the discussion happening and don't realize all that people are serious and implementing changes into law allowing males into girl's/women's sports. I've heard similar concern about men in women's prisons. They say of course they'd identify as a woman to get out of men's prison, so it's ripe for abuse. The problem is visibility of these issues. Most people still don't know they're happening and that it's widespread. I also think the Olympics would have been a very peaking moment for a lot of people, but that's now not going to happen any time soon, which is a shame.
