I'm sure those people might exist, but I don't think I've seen any in this thread.

I am being honest - I posted it the previous day, and it absolutely got crickets. Which is fine, but I think it was a bit instructive with regard to where the attention is going.

I, um, wait, what??? They're everywhere, dude. They were at our school board meeting last night. They've been showing up and making headlines at schools and board meetings for years now.

I think people that take it to that extreme are quite rare. As are incidents of violence from the trans community that you continue banging on about again and again.
My concern isn't this single incident, but where this is going. There's no way grandma and grandpa woke up one day and decided they needed to go to a school event and start bullying 9 year old girls with short hair. This isn't normal behaviour. Why would such an absurd notion even enter their brains? Can't imagine it's come from anywhere other than the right wing derposphere who's spending their time drumming up support for their base with their transphobia. Yeah, this grandpa and grandma are an extreme case and hopefully will remain so, but the people we saw at our board meeting with their signs about transgender kids basically not existing are becoming more and more commonplace, as are people getting up in arms about innocuous things like pride month now. These culture wars are starting to take us backwards in terms of inclusion and acceptance, and every time you spout off about this being a religion or an ideology and how the terrible trans people are bullying you, you're feeding into it.
