Yeah I’m reading this and I’m like “I’m actually very much against both of these examples……” the sports shit with kids in general is insane and it’s just to help them stand out for capitalism reasons, which is also why mainstream people don’t see anything wrong with it, capitalism has footed the bill of normalizing genuinely bad things like turning kids sports from a fun way to make friends to a literal job with overbearing schedules and physically inappropriate levels of activity for young bodies and joints.
You’re supposed to not agree with these (mostly). The point is people who are against gender affirming care usually aren’t against them. They’ll make the argument it’s about “protecting the children” when it benefits them, but they’re really just reactionary conservatives who want to maintain the status quo. The status quo supports the two things in the OP, but is against gender affirming care, despite gender affirming care having large upsides and the other not as much.
