Then, there was the normalization of Drag Queen Story Hour for children:
"“genderqueer” college professor and drag queen named Harris Kornstein—stage name Lil Miss Hot Mess—who hosted some of the original readings in public libraries and wrote the children’s book The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish. Kornstein sits on the board of Drag Queen Story Hour, the nonprofit organization that was founded by Michelle Tea in 2015 to promote “family-friendly” drag performances and has since expanded to 40 local chapters that have organized hundreds of performances across the United States."
I think the inclusion of "pronouns" everywhere in schools has been a particularly bad assault on the children and families. Our family was bombed by this at school around 2017.
But still - society at large does not seem to care about it.
