The conservative movement has built its case against gender-affirming care on the authority of anachronistic, faulty clinical research.

Hmmm, who also wanted to go with the populist values at the expense of human rights? Nazis. We want all humans to be equal, not throw trans people under the bus to be “popular”. Which itself is a lie, politicians that stand for trans rights are more popular to most people.
Well I never said that populism necessarily led to desirable outcomes. I said that progressives keep the pretense of being a popular movement when it really isn’t. It’s a technocratic movement, but admitting that is political suicide so it keeps the veneer of populism. But the working class can see that they are not welcome in the movement because they are “uneducated, bigots, racists etc” as soon as they disagree with a single point in the agenda so who are you really appealing to by saying you are of the people for the people? Probably yourselves because no one else buys it.
Naww, the working class is down with LGBT, it’s the ruling class that tries to force the view by buying millions of dollars worth of ads and astroturfing by homophobic Russia. Most people are a live and let live type but Republicans in power need a boogie man. As you can see from them going after gay marriage when they thought they killed off trans support.
I think the working class is down with LGBT until the Ts are in the same teams as their girls and in the same bathrooms their wives but ok, if you believe that fine.
