This is such a big problem with societal progress - "debates" where one side is some combination of ignorant and ill-intentioned are passed off as "politics as usual" and give credibility to positions that in no way deserve it, and then apathetic and/or malicious parties take that and run with it. It's so frustrating to see matters like people's basic right to exist and those of scientific importance given equal footing as hate and ignorance.
Arguably, there is a debate among the general public. There is no debate among those with expertise in the relevant medical and psychiatric fields, and there hasn't been for about 50 years.
