How did transgender children in the US become so politicized? | Moira Donegan
Briefly

The incredible politicization of transgender children illustrates how significantly hostile public attitudes towards these vulnerable groups have developed, resulting from calculated propaganda efforts aimed at widespread marginalization.
The initial legislative bans, such as Arkansas' in 2021, set a precedence with over half of states now imposing similar restrictions on transition-related care, raising serious ethical questions.
Despite previous backlash, like that faced by North Carolina in 2016 over bathroom bans, the new hostility towards trans minors reflects a broader radicalization of U.S. state policies.
The case US v Skrmetti signifies a critical moment in the ongoing struggle as it brings to light the significant implications of laws preventing transition-related medical care for minors.
