Reading the article, I'm not entirely sure the survey authors are claiming that. The quote they pulled sounds like it just says among the people surveyed (who are known to be trans), those stats apply. They're definitely very easy to misuse though. I feel like it would be nice to actually have good stats for people who detransition, but it seems almost impossible without someone trying to bias the results at this point.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I also expect that some younger Republicans are getting news from random, less popular right-wing podcasts or whatever. The Republicans I know basically either do that or pretty much exclusively use Fox News and occasionally Newsmax.

Gotta shove AI into everything to prevent the bubble from collapsing.

She doesn't really seem to be saying there's much nuance. What she is saying is she doesn't know how to make an entertaining video with the mess, she doesn't want to accidentally contribute to anti-semitism (by having it lumped in with anti-Zionism), and she feels like just screaming about it online doesn't actually help Palestinians. You can argue about whether these points should really stop her from making a video, but it doesn't mean she thinks Israel is justified from some angle.

Their dignity seems a bit fragile. Might want to work on that.
