The problem is that the Republicans have played this game well. I would wager that it's not even mostly the LGBT themselves that are teaching this stuff. It's just that Education Departments these days are über-woke and churn out ideologically-committed functionaries to carry out The Agenda. And they have handed Republicans mountains of evidence of what they are doing. For that matter, Republicans are not wrong in saying that Education these days is dominated by the far-left.

It's going to be difficult to impossible to disentangle the LGB from the T on this. Hell, even a lot of gay people don't understand that the gender identity stuff is the real target of this bill.

I'm not sure that the smart thing to do isn't just to let the Republicans have this victory because, like you say, fighting it tooth and nail makes it look like we want to discuss gay sex with 5-9 year olds.

The real lesson we should learn is that you should never even give the appearance of going after people's kids. I was a teacher, and I knew NEVER to do that. It was just sheer arrogance that led teachers to teach this stuff to young kids, and we know that arrogance is a primary TRA trait.
