This was always the point of the "groomer" rhetoric and the attacks on trans people; the total removal of rights for LGBTQ people. Just like assaults on abortion access, where the point is to eventually remove all women's rights.
It's so coordinated and long-term-planned-out. I wish the news covered it with a bit more context, instead of sometimes writing as if these events are all unrelated and these are just 'natural' shifts in public opinion.
When the vast majority of people get “the news” from outlets that are all ultimately owned by a few specific billionaires … this is a surprise outcome to you?
Surprise, no. But it is very disheartening.
