Sure, but the real true believers are a very tiny minority.
The VAST majority of people don't pay all that much attention. They coasted along assuming it was all rainbow flags and loveliness. They noted some feminists were getting very noisy about something, but decided, because they were told, that it was 'culture wars' and nothing to do with them. 'Love is love' and 'being my true self' sounded fair enough and no big deal.
Then they probably noticed, say, an avalanche of drag queen propaganda. Or heard the 'No debate' mantra and thought 'that's a bit rude'. Saw a woman get punched in the news, assumed it was some kind of in-group spat. Then their child came home talking about Stonewall genderamas. Somebody at school goes non-binary and talks about puberty blockers. Well, they thought, live and let live, and it's probably a bit like the gay/lesbian thing back in the day.
Then there was the Cass Report, and they thought a bit about why 15 year old girls were getting mastectomies. Or they came across a chap in the local swimming pool, using the women's changing rooms. Maybe they were vaguely aware the Scottish government planned to bring in self ID. Then there was Isla Bryson and his penis, sent to a woman's prison.
Maybe then they started noticing more, and wondered how we got here. And opinion has started to shift.
I've watched over the past howeverthefuckmany years as one by one friends and family have had some kind of disconcerting realisation dawn. And every one of them has gone from frowning at me when I've talked about gender stuff to eventually coming and asking 'what the fuck is actually going on?'
No, no point in trying to argue with true believers. But still, most people have only a very sketchy idea of what's going on. Bear in mind the survey that showed a couple of years ago that around 30% of the public still don't really know whether a 'trans woman' is supposed to mean someone who is male to female, or the opposite.
