You'll notice the title says anti-LGBTQ. I wonder if you omitted a couple letters intentionally?
Don't kid yourself. Those who are currently after transgender people were also fighting against gay rights 20 years ago. They will happily take on that fight again given the opportunity.
It's not anti-lgb. For historical reasons, lgb and t are wrapped up in the same bundle, even though lgb are sexualities and t is gender.
You say something bad about t, you're saying something bad about lgbt.
Because these messages imply parents want 100% control over their kids, when kids are individuals as much as anyone else, with their own opinions and identities. No one is pressuring these kids to be anything other than themselves, except for these parents who want their kids to be exactly like the vision in their head, which isn't going to happen most of the time (Free will and personality and all that). If the idea of kids being around other cultures and types of people is scary to a parent, they need to think about who's grooming who.

Right, makes it much easier to target trans people if we can separate them from the bigger group that banded together against these attacks a decade ago and formed a larger group to show solidarity. Why is it wrong to break up that solidarity.
Just asking questions
Oh fuck off terf. Stop erasing us.
They think teaching kids about sexualities and genders are "politics".
Also please don't leave out T.
They're a terf, it was intentional. Don't say please, report/punch irl if you encounter. Erasure is just one step on the path of genocide.
Shouldn't you be at the march?
You're such an awful piece of shit, nice obvious dog whistle though.
Well, you forgot a few groups.
But to answer the question with one, how is this different from the rhetoric that the bigots crowd have been using for decades?
