True story. I was sitting down for coffee with a local business owner, male, moderate GC, and a local councillor, female, very GC, who'd been effectively censured by her national party a year ago for GC views she broadcast freely at the election.
As we regaled him with her tales of woe (former colleagues and friends shunning her in public, on indefinite party suspension), he showed curiosity and registered it was wrong, but it didn't seem to phase him in any way. Indeed he found a few reasons why it would have been better off if she'd said nothing, or that her views at the very least might have led to some hurt.
I'd call him likely the majority view, low level GC that the whole thing around trans is a bit weird, but that it registers pretty low, and cancelling, freeze on free speech is really not that big a deal, and no real understanding (other than sports or prisons) why TIMs should be excluded en masse from women's spaces.
I had another discussion with a group of moderate GC people, all thoughtful individuals. Only me and a woman present showed heartfelt opinions. Indeed I was quizzed as to why I was so emotional on this matter (borderline ranty that day).
Of course, once the chat went onto Farage, Trump, Musk, then the group were literally ranty themselves. That's ok of course. GCs must be moderate, but anti fascists must be loud.
My conclusion? Most people are default GC. But there's a spectrum on this, more ambiguity on using pronouns and men in social spaces. Only when we get to sports, prisons, refuges, maybe toilets, then the mainstream GCs are more opinionated.
But even then, there's no righteous anger.
Short of that, I'm realizing more and more this is a non issue for most men, and actually a larger number of women than you'd guess.
And it kills conversations stone dead.
Whereas animated chat on Farage Trump Musk...thus can go on all.night, escalating anger levels.
I'm still cogitating on what this means for society, voting intentions in 2029 etc.
