We know why, I'm sure you get it, too. Roughly half the population meets new counterintuitive ideas with curiosity, and the other half discomfort. New ideas about sexuality and gender are particularly hard for the latter to process because those are such fundamental parts of our identity that it's hard to be flexible about the concepts. Everything that played out about homosexuality and interracial romance etc. is happening with transgenderism. The fear is as predictable and inevitable as the broad societal acceptance of the new idea, it just takes time to unfold and the only way out is through. Hence, this hypothesis. Half the population is compelled to work backwards from the discomfort to a comforting idea.
