Pro trans was an extremely fringe view not that long ago by historical standards.
If 99% of people in the 1960s had “harmful” stances, I feel like the word “harmful” has become very watered down, it’s been repo’d as jargon.
Note that I’m not taking a position on being permissive or non-permissive on what was previously a forbidden societal taboo, I’m just criticizing the blanket characterization as “harmful” of the non-permissive position.
