&gt; They only care about inflating their own sense of worth and pride.

That and their cause has been co-opted by pedophiles who are absolutely utilizing progressive ideals to groom children. The cause on the whole is not about grooming, and anybody saying that is disingenuous or extremely prejudiced. It has absolutely been used as a new tool by predators however, and the amount of denial or even outright defense of these actions is the concerning thing that causes the kind of backlash that produces bills like this.

You can't go around defending books in school libraries that are literally how-to guides for sex and BDSM, complete with illustrations, and then wonder why people have a negative opinion of that and any person or cause associated with it. You also can't praise performances containing exposed genitalia with children present in the audience and later claim to be outraged when bills are introduced to stop those events before they happen in an effort to prevent the literal crime of exposing yourself to a child.

The problem is that the backlash is as stupid and clumsily executed as the original actions.

I do think it's a bit far fetched that progressive ideals being used to groom children has become a movement. Political, social, and religious ideals are used in grooming and CSA frequently, so it exists to an extent, but that applies even to right wing ideas, and other than that I don't know how far these bad things are going.

and I think if I was a teenager and had access to those books, I could have avoided internet porn brain rot. Damn near everyone has phones and internet, so maybe it's better for TEENAGERS to be taught some basic stuff regarding that? I mean tbh I already was because I found a sex ed site one day while browsing porn and it was nice, they even wrote one of those books you're complaining about.

performances like that are bad, and I do not like them, I don't even like shows in the same vein without such problems, the bills introduced focus on these issues because they are the focus of propaganda and news attention, but do not clumsily execute their restrictions, instead they intentionally make sweeping motions to harm and oppress larger groups of people and restrict their freedoms for being outside of the lawmaker's idea of a "moral person" even if the wider populace would be upset that they're not allowed to wear womens pants or kilts anymore.
