New poll finds strong majority opposes gender-affirming care bans for trans minors
New poll finds strong majority opposes gender-affirming care bans for trans minors
At the same time, a slim majority calls transitioning "morally wrong."
Double negative confused me for a second and I was sad. Opposes the ban! Want gender affirming care available. Excellent.
Oh I missed that entirely. Sloppy writing, it should be arranged "opposes bans on gender affirming care".
Gotta get them clicks tho. Maybe we're at the beginning of a transition from, "shocking and attention-grabbing headlines," to, "attention-grabbing but also poorly written in a way that it'll agitate an even wider wash of readers"
Same! "Supports care" would have been an easier concept, though a little different from "opposes ban" I guess...
Lol same had to read it 2x 😂
I find it quite common (and confusing) for certain news types like policy, eg “party A reverses the disapproval to oppose the once-unacceptable ban”
Gosh, it's almost as though most people aren't hateful bigots. Hateful bigots should take note, but they won't. In fact, if they do it'll only be to point out how they're being persecuted. I dislike hateful bigots.
That's so nice! I'm so happy for US folks! Here in the UK only 12% support Gender-affirming care for trans minors, most want it banned, most actually don't support it for adults either 😢

Ok, then don't get your kid gender affirming care. Why is it so fucking hard for people to mind their own business?
This is a good headline. Most people oppose the bans.
It looks like you misread the headline.
I don’t know that that’s a great solution though. I also worry that just because a majority oppose bans, that doesn’t mean they’d all be in favor of it for their child
