What weight should we give to polls on trans issues when a quarter of those polled don't know what "LGBTQ" stands for?

Why does it seem that many people fundamentally don't understand trans issues? @alysbrooks.bsky.social sheds light on the reasons why by diving into polling data.
Polls on Trans Issues Ignite a Debate That Ignores Their Many Limitations — Assigned
The surveys, and the political stances pundits build from them, lack essential context on how firmly Americans hold their beliefs and how knowledgeable they are.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work!
Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.
That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

I must have missed the news where the author, writers, actors, and everyone involved in things like Game of Thrones, Euphoria, millions of other works etc. were all jailed

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

1. Great news out of a federal court in Maryland this morning.
A judge has ruled that Trump's trans passport ban is likely unconstitutional, blocking it for the plaintiffs.
Importantly, it rules that it is likely unconstitutional at ANY level of review.

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.
In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

Rowling, like Musk, demonstrates why the ultra-wealthy cannot be allowed to be so: because they use their wealth to buy the world they want to live in
Fun fact, JK—who is English—single-handedly funded the Scotland remain movement during the referendum, and called separatists “bigots”.
She’s the reason there’s no independent Scotland. She throws her money and clout around like she’s fucking Nigel Farage. She’s a billionaire corrupting politics.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.
