The silent majority are anti-trans only by the standards of terminally online tranny wokescolds. The "live and let live" mentality mentioned on this very page is exhibited in hundreds, if not thousands, of comments on this site. The "live and let live" mentality is held by lifelong leftists and forum users who call everyone nigger autists alike; people of both persuasions vacate this mentality because they experience troon behaviour, first-hand or otherwise.Being gender critical is usually linked with being "far right" (lol). Does this cause people to not be openly gender critical, or to try and gaslight themselves into accepting trannies? I feel like if it wasn't seen as a far right thing we'd have more people openly against it. I still think the silent majority are anti-trans, even when they're not that right leaning.
The silent majority simply haven't done the reading yet, and while there is more anti-tranny propaganda than there used to be, it's possible to peak just by actually listening to what troons say themselves. There's more pro-tranny propaganda too, of course, but the direction of travel of public opinion on child transition, men in women's sports and prisons is all one way as more people learn about the reality of it.
How many people on the street would actually know what "gender critical" meant if you asked them? Colin Wright posted this survey on X which suggests that a substantial set of the UK population don't know what "trans woman" means and aren't even sure if "trans woman" and "transgender woman" mean the same thing. Both the phenomenon and the terminology were so rare that I was basically in this boat until adulthood.

While we're on people not having a clue when asked about gender nonsense, the data from the 2021 UK Census suggested that people who don't speak English well were five times as likely to identify as trans, Muslims were more likely to be trans than people with no religion, black people were more likely to be trans than white people.
It was funny to see the pearl clutching over Trump saying "about a week before the election, bring [men in women's sports] up, you can't lose." Trump exaggerates by saying it's a 95% issue, but not by a huge amount.
