7. I have to be the ultimate devil's advocate: those ads that had Lia Thomas towering over her fellow team-mates

that were broadcast during the ultimate (predominantly "Bro" ) sports events--NFL, NCAA football, etc. were devastating visuals to those already inclined to believe any of the lies or perhaps to be pondering the issue for the first time.

I understand why the Harris campaign did not want to address them directly, but damn, that really did some harm.

And yes, the intensely minute prevalence of the problem can be emphasized until the cows come home, but... A lot of viewers--including parents of girls with little information on the issue-- apparently found the rarity of trans women/girls on sports teams --while likewise not addressing their concerns--to be all but confirmatory of those concerns. We have a lot of work to do on that score it seems.
