Part of the problem is that most people really don't understand what they're supporting. Hell, I have TERF friends who thought that transwomen actually received uterus transplants and could menstruate. A lot of people actually believe that men are literally turned into women.

I find the most trans supportive people in my social circle are those who have the least idea what's going on.

People are stupid.

Can't really be helped since our modern world gives us TMI about everything and you can't be expected to know everything. I can understand the basic idea of "let's be nice to the oppressed of society" I agree with that basic idea.

But once you know more about what the medical side of it actually entails. And get the psychological elements, it becomes much more complicated and concerning.
