Yeah, that case is widely misunderstood.
Most people who are dismissive of it didn't realize that she had third degree burns.
I'm guessing this is a reference to me.
If someone wants my views on a topic, they could ask it. I have given my view before that on this specific issue the right is wrong in its rhetoric.
If I hadn't said anything, it could be that I was busy. There shouldn't be any hint of an obligation of a hobbyist to spend more time on a message board. We can't be expected to discuss every topic, and we should be careful about negative inferences, because that approach applies just as well against people on your side.
I made more comments about liberal congressional leadership disparaging people because there was disagreement on that which leads to more back and forths. There's less likely to be a disagreement about the circumstances under which adults should be called groomers, so there's not going to be a back and forth.
The study was mentioned in an article in the Week.

It is actually relevant that there is a significant increase in females identifying as trans, rather than males. It's a widely known feature, and explains the subtitle and emphasis of Abigail Shrier's book.
Terminology very quickly gets confusing here. I would use terms like boy, girl, man and woman to refer to gender, while male and female refer to sex. Your comment about there being "no mention of if boys are similarly increasing in numbers" is technically inappropriate, as you seem to be asking about people born male, whereas in this context boys would refer to anyone who sees themselves that way.About 0.6 percent of American adults identify as transgender, the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law has estimated. But in recent years, vastly more young people are seeking treatment for gender dysphoria, teen girls in particular. In surveys by the American College Health Association, the number of students brought up as girls identifying as transgender soared from 1 in 2,000 in 2008 to 1 in 20. There are now at least 50 clinics in the U.S. to treat young people with gender dysphoria; in 2007, there was just one. The growing number of children being prescribed puberty blockers and hormone treatments has become a political issue:
It is possible that the entire increase of young adults and minors identifying as trans is exclusively due to greater acceptance, that 99 out of 100 (this number may be a bit low if there are still closeted trans people out there) trans boys didn't have the right guidance and support in 2008.
Regarding your question about history, and you're asking for my understanding of other people's views, conservatives would generally support some kind of shared understanding of the nation's past, although asking to get more detailed is going to result in in-fighting.
