Thank you for posting about this. I think it's important to track all of the different types of backlash we may see. Currently I'm thinking of:

  • backlash directed at T, ignoring LGB-- limiting surgeries for children, limiting public sponsorship of transgender surgeries

  • backlash directed at T, and also blaming LGB-- lumping in all the letters of "LGBTQ" as the same, e.g. curtailing sexual health education for LGB children, alongside the reasonable choice to curtail the teaching of transgender ideology in schools

  • backlash directed at T, and supporting LGB-- mostly spreading awareness so far (by going on public TV, spreading informative pamphlets, etc.). Led by Transgender Trend, Kiera Bell, LGB Fight Back.

It might be worth making a post about how different states (US) and countries fall into these categories. Clearly, some places are on a very different trajectory than others.

IIRC, HRC is collecting some of the "backlash," which, in the US, is mainly against the genderists' outrageous demands.

Mostly the bills being passed by US states are to save women's sports and to stop (mostly gay) kids from being turned into incredibly expensive medical experiments via "transitioning."

This Arizona bill is kind of scary, because it's explicitly hitting LGB too. I can almost guarantee that if the TQ+ hadn't scared the hell out of US parents with the huge push in schools for kids to consider themselves transgender or gender fluid, whatever, LGB would have been accepted and left alone.
