It’s funny how it’s the opposite of gay people. Knowing someone who is gay and seeing their humanity, personhood, and struggles is generally the most common reason people changed their mind for the better about gay rights. It’s the exact opposite for trans. Interacting with trans people is what peaks people. The main people who go TRA from a trans person being in their life are adults who know a “trans kid.” And it’s easier to support supposedly transsexual kids than to believe your friend or family member who is their parent is acting monstrously or being deliberately mislead by professionals and self-interested adult activists to catastrophic effect.
