It is possible, but boomers like my mom and dad are having none of the gender shit for example, so I can't say for sure. It definitely might be like that for some.

I got the feeling though, that this "they" was probably a member of the family or something, so the woman might've been advocating for a trans-identified family member, but I guess that doesn't really matter in the end.

I suppose the widespread support they see of gender ideology in government, schools, presidency, medical community etc is most likely assuring them that this is the way though. People in the highest of places are all backing this. 

If you are a person uneducated about the "other side" of what they're not showing, (all the negatives) it's easy to follow suit and think that there's no problem. I was like that at first. I knew nothing of the negatives, so thought there weren't any.
