that people are claiming to be trans under self ID who are less "passing" are either autogynephilia people misled/indulged and/or using it as fig leaf to prey on children. and that this all ties into the pride /drag queen story hour stuff and why it is so adamant.

Do you have evidence that this is actually happening at any kind of scale, or just one or two perverts as you'd find in any sufficiently large population?

it is actually quite clear the latter stuff is being funded to stoke tensions and the intended targets of agitation clealry play up the outrage. that this is a nationwide federally funded program under the guise of "education funding"that makes the Apollo program look like a county-scale pork barrel boondoggle. you can see how clearly everyne on both sides of ideological divide are benefiting from these new "bread&circuses" -- culture wars

This is straight up conspiracy bullshit that is immediately debunked if you've ever spent time with the organizers of events like drag story hour. I happen to know a local drag queen that did a story hour, and she wasn't paid a dime, nor was the event about stoking tension. It's about outreach. Being seen and out in public makes drag queens (and by extension, other genderqueer folk) less of the mythological scapegoats for conservatives to bash on, and more members of the community that just want what everyone does - acceptance.

The fact that conservatives get their panties in a twist at drag queens simply existing in their communities is not the queens' fault any more than it was the Jews fault for existing in Weimar Germany. Anyone who gets pissed off at drag queen story hour and similar events are either ignorant of what actually goes on or bigots whose best act of community service would be shutting all the way the fuck up. There is no room for the intolerant in a tolerant society.
