I’d be very interested to see some data and analysis on this, because it feels true to say that certain figures have become persona non grata who have either been denounced publicly, or organisations have simply “lost their contact details” after saying the non-approved thing. It feels like a strong trend, but I feel like I only have anecdotes to back that up. The other major corollary trend seems to be that when trans ideology is opposed, that’s done by religious, or right wing figures, rather than secular or left wing figures. Although again, all I have is anecdotes there too. Another corollary trend is portraying a false consensus by locating agreement from theoretically diverse corners, such as having a trans person, the parent of a trans person, a doctor of a trans person, the school principal of a trans person and the trans person’s religious leader all say that the young trans person should absolutely have medical intervention.

Has anyone gathered data and analysed this?
