A lot of the anti-trans playbook was recycled anti-gay propaganda. Don’t let them in the bathrooms because we have to protect the children. They’re becoming teachers to corrupt our students. They’re pedophiles and need to be “created” through “recruitment”. Etc
There’s a 1950s PSA they showed to elementary school kids about the dangers of talking to strangers. In one scene, they show a man trying to abduct a young boy by being friendly to him first. The narrator then says something along the lines of “…and you see, children, the man trying to kidnap little Timmy is because the man is a homosexual.”
Just falsely claiming all child abusers are gay, presented as fact to millions of children nationwide between lessons about duck/cover for nuclear attacks and how smoking is unhealthy.

I’m slow on the uptick with what the right is up too.
