I do think anyone who isn't an Evangelical, Mormon, TradCath, etc is moving in that direction, I'm cautiously optimistic. It's one of those issues that a lot of people don't have a lot of direct experience with. But I think most normal humans capable of empathy will see some videos on YouTube of the struggles that trans kids go through and realize they're not down with the GOP's trajectory on this.
I do think this notion of trying to ban adults from gender affirming care has gained some steam in recent months among reactionaries. That I know will be super unpopular with most Americans.
Yeah banning adults from gender affirming care does seem like a place many people will draw their line. I also wonder if a lot of the reactionary side of this is mostly from very online people who follow like libs of tik tok and Jordan Peterson and get all worked up about some bullshit they post. If your average, run of the mill republican voter isn't following that shit, videos like this probably sound pretty deranged.

Virulent transphobia gets a lot of air time on Fox News and the like, so I'm not as confident about that.
Ah that makes sense now that you mention it
Have you seen the school boards implementing the anti-crt and transphobia recently? We shall see, but I'm not quite as optimistic
