For pretty much any value of "an opinion that was the only one possible some 15 years ago", you are wrong. Other ideas were around at the time.

- cubefox 3y agoIt's more that at the time you could disagree on some things where now only one view is acceptable. The Overton window has narrowed substantially on certain subjects.

- jojobas 3y agoIdeas are like that, paper can't blush. For a salient example, the idea of providing 12 year olds with puberty blockers and opposite sex hormones without their parents' consent didn't quite fly then, and today disagreeing with it puts you in quite a few naughty lists.
- HWR_14 3y ago"Ideas are controversial" is no where near "ideas weren't fathomable". There are several 24 news networks that make your exact example of "unallowed opinion" as a seemingly huge percentage of their content. But also, that's a complete strawman. No serious group I am advocates medical treatment without parental consent. There is a strong movement to let 12-year-old choose what pronouns to use in school even without parental consent.
