Why are conservatives so hung up on transgender issues?

Description

They're basically trying to create issues that don't exist in reality. If they based their understanding of the world on science and studies instead of nut jobs on twitter, they'd appear a lot less ignorant. Educate yourself: "Methods: A systematic review of several databases was conducted. Random-effects meta-analysis, meta-regression, and subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: A total of 27 studies, pooling 7928 transgender patients who underwent any type of GAS, were included. The pooled prevalence of regret after GAS was 1% (95% CI <1%–2%). Overall, 33% underwent transmasculine procedures and 67% transfemenine procedures. The prevalence of regret among patients undergoing transmasculine and transfemenine surgeries was <1% (IC <1%–<1%) and 1% (CI <1%–2%), respectively. A total of 77 patients regretted having had GAS. Twenty-eight had minor and 34 had major regret based on Pfäfflin’s regret classification. The majority had clear regret based on Kuiper and Cohen-Kettenis classification. Conclusions: Based on this review, there is an extremely low prevalence of regret in transgender patients after GAS. We believe this study corroborates the improvements made in regard to selection criteria for GAS. However, there is high subjectivity in the assessment of regret and lack of standardized questionnaires, which highlight the importance of developing validated questionnaires in this population." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8099405/ About 1% of people that have gender reassignment surgery regret it. Yet conservatives want to make this the biggest issue in the country. Why? What is their fear that is driving this?
