What are you talking about?

There’s routine cases of institutional actors like teachers and their unions trying to groom kids into being “trans”, without talking to the parents.

Counter culture is saying that you’re not allowed to do that — eg, that drag queen story time is a bad idea.

That's not happening except in the fevered minds of the far-right. Get a grip.

It's nothing but a moral panic we've seen again and again (in the 60s hippies, 70s punks, 80s goths and Satanists, then gay people, now furries and trans people - all coming for your kids)

Meanwhile we endlessly discover Catholics, Southern Baptists and other sects have actually systemically covered up child abuse by their leaders across the US. But you don't see anyone warning you against bringing your kid to church.

I'm starting to think some people really _don't_ mind weird old dudes in tunics groom their kids.

I mean I'm talking about current laws on proposal to ban people from dressing differently without saying "only drag queens". The letter of the law bans butch lesbians and tomboys. These are adults.

Why the scare quotes? Be specific.

Can you cite more than one example when and where this has happened?
