Recent polling shows a majority of Americans support transgender and non-binary people living freely, reflecting a shift toward greater acceptance
 
"Every leading medical association supports trans people." #1,622
As well they should.
And while this isn't intended to undermine the virtue of this support,
as an inquiry into the dynamic of simple practice:

do these medical associations benefit from this support? Perverse incentive?
 
"I don't see how they can." S2 #1,624
A bigger tent means a larger constituency.
And embracing the cause expands political power (in a "democracy").

I discern you understand my #1,623 inquiry is not antagonistic, but rather more politically prophylactic.
If those that champion diversity are accused of doing so for self-interest, perhaps self-$gain at the expense of others, it undermines the coalition.
That's what we want to not do.

In a striking act of defiance, just hours before a statewide ban came into force, Salt Lake City’s mayor moved to officially recognize the Pride, Transgender, and Juneteenth flags as city symbols. The decision highlights a firm stance on inclusion and visibility, even as restrictions on LGBTQ+ expression grow.

At a moment when debates around identity and representation are intensifying nationwide, the move signals clear support for LGBTQ+ communities and people of color—reaffirming a commitment to diversity, equality, and social progress.
