Conservatives Claim Transgenderism Is Losing Ground
Conservative commentators and policymakers claim transgender activism has been rolled back, citing Trump-era bans on federal funding for minors' gender-affirming care and an American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommendation to delay surgeries until age 19. The article counters that persistent media use of chosen names and pronouns, ongoing urban support, and mixed surveys showing declines from about 8% to 1% or from 7% to 4% suggest transgender identity remains entrenched and could rebound under a Democratic administration.
