Usually I don't want it to be a Big Damn Thing where we talk for hours; I don't intent to peak them in a single conversation.

Totally agree. I think short sound bites are the best. If they want to know more then there's lots more, but we don't want to overwhelm people.

Quick ones I've used:

The goal of the trans movement is to give drugs to children without their parents knowing. These drugs...

• Are given to children without their parents' knowledge or consent. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/01/22/politics/transgender-healthcare-laws-minors-trnd/index.html

• Cause a host of lifelong health issues and side effects, particularly bone damage and osteoporosis (in 20 year olds!). https://www.statnews.com/2017/02/02/lupron-puberty-children-health-problems/

• Were not intended to be used for trans children; most are used "off-label" and some medical professionals make a ton of money off them.

• Are not actually all that safe even for the adults they were originally intended for...

• Are now being covered and paid for through healthcare in some states, explicitly for the purpose of transitioning. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/health/transgender-youth-puberty-blockers

edit: adding links

Also, a lot of newspapers are totally on board with giving these drugs to literal children and not telling their parents, which is crazy... see first article from CNN as an example.

I can barely believe that first bolded sentence I wrote is reality... but it is, lol. And it's insanely messed up, and we've got to stop it.
