The framing of transgender existence as ideology is unscientific and bigoted.
Just because it is widely used by the GOP and broader political right does not mean media and pollsters need to use the bigoted framing to be neutral.
They shouldn’t. They should only ever note the scientific consensus.

Polling on trans issues is difficult to interpret. It becomes even more difficult when pollsters use politically charged terms like 'transgender ideology.'

Reed Smith of Calusa Oyster Company took us out on his skiff to show us his oyster farm, a series of mesh bags attached to floating buoys in the lower Tampa Bay.
In the not-so-far distance, you could see the Skyway - and the spot where a proposed cruise ship port could impact water quality.

I've been going to MOSI since the early 2000s. It was sad to see them struggling financially and closing exhibition spaces.
But the science museum's newest expansion (and name to go with it!) is pretty exciting.
