@sim @HebrideanHecate @Haleakalacrater @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain It's because we live in a hot take age. People were sold *trans* as the new civil rights, so they bought the goods from the 30 second advert and didn't look too closely because of the feel-good vibes.
Now they realise it has some bugs in the system, it's harder to back track because they have to acknowledge they've been sold a dud, especially if they went out to bat on its behalf.
Logic would have told them this would be an outcome, but most people outsource their thinking to politicians, pundits and *experts* because it's easier.
