I mean, transitioning really isn’t something that is palatable to the main populace, like, HRT and SRS are just inconceivable to your average Tom, Dick, or Harry. But right wing media broadcasts the buisiness of 1-3% of the populace to the world, and floods the zone with misinfo. And unlike the fact that the queer population is around ~10% so even conservative families may have a gay family member, Trans people are often cut off so its harder to know a trans person to get actual info.

And even when that is the case, the flood of misinfo day in and out plus the promise that conversion therapy (torture) will simply ‘fix’ your child so you don’t have to actually have a trans kid makes it so much harder to advocate for them.
