I remember when the LGB were accused of trying to "recruit" people's kids, which was never particularly true. We just wanted LGB kids to be able to come out if they were LGB, and the numbers really haven't changed that much.

In contrast, the TQ+ and their willing allies are now indoctrinating kids into gender ideology in elementary school. TRAs talk about cultivating kids as "eggs," which has always struck me as creepy.

It's like all the damning accusations thrown at the LGB are now becoming reality as a result of the TQ+. They ARE recruiting people's kids, especially those with vulnerabilities like autism, to the point of legally removing them from their parents' protection and subjecting them to irreversible medical procedures.

I don't want anyone to be gay who isn't gay, and I have no interest in trying to talk somebody's kid into it.

Part of the "truth" in what people saw as "gays recruiting kids" was actually the fault of bigoted parents kicking kids out of their house or making home life unbearable to the point that the kids ran away. Older gays would become like parent figures and you would get these hybrid parent/dating situations. In an ideal world, I'm sure this wasn't the most healthy type of relationship but it was preferable to the various terrible alternatives.

The situation with TRAs is totally different IMO.

I don't remember anyone claiming 3 and 4 year olds were 'gay', whereas you frequently see people claiming kids that young are 'trans'.
