The Republican sub-sample tells a different story. In 2020, 6.9% of 18–22-year-olds who identified as Republican said they were transgender. After that, the number basically vanished. In 2021 it was statistically zero, and in 2024 it was just 0.8%. I don’t want to stray too far into hot-take territory, but it seems that around 2021 the Republican Party drew a clear “bright line” on this issue—and when that happened, the idea of trans Republicans all but disappeared.

What do you mean by "bright line"

I’m quoting the article, but what the author means is that the Republican Party have very clearly said “we do not support trans people.”

That’s the bright line.
