Opponents say [Washington state] voters were persuaded at least partly because the initiative and its boosters exploited deep-seated prejudices and misunderstandings about transgender people to erode their rights.

It’s not all that surprising. It’s something like an 80/20 issue. Rights are rights and I think most people are to that point, but things get a bit more wobbly about this specific issue. At least at this point in time. And that’s probably even before all the bad faith arguments coming from conservatives.
It’s probably why cons worked to put these kinds of things on ballots - a re-play of the Karl Rove tactic from years ago in order to drive more cons to the polls.
I think most people just are very confused about the idea of transgenderism and what it actually means, both to those who are transgender and for everyone else.
And the answer to this? Education.
You could round up all the people that don’t understand or agree and send them to reeducation camps
I think the issue is that, like it or not, we live in societies segregated by gender (bathrooms, prisons, sports, privileges, requirements) and the idea to just abandon all this doesn’t sit well with a lot of people, both on the right and on the left.
Or maybe people just want to keep their sports segregated and competitions protected? How many trans athletes breaking records is it going to take to realise they’re segregated for good reason
Are the record breaking trans athletes in the room with us? Please share who they are

Your proof is one article about a political stunt by a guy who doesnt identify as trans making a statement to discredit a trans athlete that transitioned with hormones and surgery 20 years before the event?
