There are many misconceptions here. For instance, a sizeable fraction of the public believes that minors receive a sex-change surgery (they don’t) as opposed to just medication and therapy. I think most people are mostly worried that it is easy to transition and kids might do it without considering the consequences. These myths could be easily dispelled if they actually talk to transgenders.
I think the people surveyed agree with you here. They’re saying that they’re opposed to the surgery, but they don’t want to ban the surgeries even though they oppose them.
They need to be informed that surgery alleviates gender dysphoria and saves tens of thousands in the long run from poor mental health to lessen productivity.
The healthcare system should cover every gender affirming care surgery available.
Don’t accept their definition shifting. They wrap surgery into “gender affirming care” then say young children get GAC to make people think they’re regularly performing surgery on 12 year olds. Hormone blockers are GAC too.
