This shows that democrats on here are in denial of how unpopular a lot of DeSantis’s legislation on trans issues would be cause most of them are more moderate than this .
poll shows majority of Americans oppose laws banning gender-affirming care for minors
OSR: Democrats are in denial
You are absolutely delusional.
If the poll was phrased a bit differently then it would be a majority in favor, I suspect. "Do you support a ban on puberty-blocking drugs and cross sex hormones for minors?" would likely break 50% approval.
I think the opposite is likely true, as many people are assuming that "gender-affirming care" means permanent sex-change surgeries.
I doubt it.
I don't know, any time a red state legislator gets called out on why they would vote to ban all gender-affirming care, regardless of reversibility or parental consent, they always default to something like "I just don't think children need to be having sex change operations." Whether they're sincere buffoons or just deflecting on purpose, it's likely that a lot of voters believe that's what it's all about.
From my experience, which I grant is not in liberal enclaves but it's definitely with a diverse range of people nonetheless, even the most liberal (or in some cases completely apolitical) people think the concept of puberty blockers is like a Frankenstein science experiment. I think it's easily one of the biggest hangups that the left and everyone else has on this. The left sets up its supposed opposition to sex change surgeries on minors as an example of how reasonable they are and then say all they support is puberty blockers. But a lot of people, possibly even most Americans, do not think it's reasonable to give children those either.
