And indeed, a November 2024 study by More in Common found that while only 9 percent of Democratic respondents listed LGBT or transgender policies as a top-three issue for them, the larger public sample believed that trans rights were Democrats' second-highest priority.
While the cost of living was far and away the top issue for Democratic voters at 40 percent, only 19 percent of the public said that it was.

In other words: Somehow, the public views of Democratic party and of trans rights have been grossly distorted. Gender equality will affect almost no one, so of course it's reasonable to enact. And while Democrats have largely supported trans equality, they absolutely have never made it a top priority.
