at least in Germany
And not only there. Sexuality is not an issue now in the developed world and even in PL, the rhetoric from some ultra-conservative politicians is offputting in its intensity., especially as they so often fail to live up to the values they encourage.
only about trans-women!
This is something I've noticed too.
The newspaper I read (the most conservative of the U.K. quality papers) never fails to have fewer than three articles about trans women (always women, never transmen) on their website. It ranks together with ULEZ (vehicle low emissions zones), hunting bans, unmarried mothers, German tourists 'reserving' sun loungers at Spanish resorts and seeing black faces, Meghan Markle, and the upcoming (2030) gas boiler ban as things that get the articles clicked on by lower middle class semi-educated suburbanites who instinctively fear change and who like things that hark back to a golden past that never existed.
You're a city dweller, I think, in a progressive city. I am too. We forget maybe about the sheer dreariness of some people's lives out in the suburbs of medium sized towns. A life of 9-5 work then TV in the evening. Those people are often sheep that are easy to rile up for either profit or political gain.
