Well, interesting, I might get shot down here but at the tender age of 70 I have seen most of the political noise.
Bad news sells and whilst transgender folk and nonbinary folk shout about it, the more the press and nutters will respond to it, which stirs the pot even more, and yet a reaction so they win, that is a fact of life.
Fear and hysteria plays into the minds of those who believe that hell and damnation is coming, then ignorant fools will exploit the weekness and stir the pot even more.
IMO it is better to keep quite and keep your heads down and not draw attention to yourself, its like a bully they soon get fed up when you do not respond and move on to the next person.
That is not to say that you should hide in the corner, my belief is pick the fights you can win when you have to.
Rant over
