There is indeed a generational divide on this. Or maybe a divide between those with some life experience or some kids to protect.
It would be so interesting to compare different attitudes, experiences and influences across age ranges - starting with children. So many times I have seen people write that their teenage children, against expectations, were aware of but dismissive of the whole trans ideology.
If they go to university then they are more likely to encounter a woke battalion at an elite university. (Sorry, I cannot remember the reference for that survey.)
Certain industries and professions seem to have been particularly vulnerable to trans indoctrination and propaganda. And places, eg. Mordor (aka Brighton & Hove - TY fishdoggy !)
Within the spheres that JKR and journalists move, I imagine that there might well be a "generational divide" but that would hardly be a representative sample of the population at large, most of whom have not been subject to indoctrination and "cancel culture".
TorchesTorches point about life experience and parenthood would suggest that at least some of the Ivory Tower wokerati will, in time, be troubled by stirrings of common sense and will be crying themselves to sleep in the trap of silence that they helped to construct.
Micha Frazer-Carroll, opinions editor of gal-dem, sounded well out of her depth on that programme, having to confess that gal-dem (whatever that is) does not actually publish many opinions on anything! Then using that fact to justify not even striving for any diversity of opinion. Why was she even included on that panel? Diversity of lack of relevance?
