Things can be both part of a social movement and thoughoughly backed by scientific consensus: see climate change. No offesne was intended in my response.

I figured you didn't intend offense, and I'm not offended personally - just mulling over your comment and realizing several things struck me as a little wrong upon reflection.

I still think you're probably right overall that the current anti-trans moral panic (and the anti-trans activism that led to it) has resulted in the average American thinking of gender-affirming care for minors as "controversial", and that this average American also probably thinks that gender-affirming care for minors is a part of a trans rights movement.
