I find it troubling that nearly 20% percent of voters think it should be legal.

Could also be a large proportion of people who don’t actually understand the issue or believe that hormones/puberty blockers are reversible and/or that children aren’t getting surgeries anyway.

Having just watched John Oliver and Jon Stewart on the issue, it’s hard to deny that there has been a, not inconsiderable, effort to confuse normies by muddying the water, acting like there’s a medical/scientific consensus in favour of transitioning children and that the idea that transgenderism is anything other than a completely naturally occurring and immutable characteristic, like homosexuality, is a vile, right wing libel.

Well, we’ve seen how they create “consensus” in the scientific community. By suppressing information and threatening people who don’t toe the line with loss of jobs or worse.
