SAGA Sunday! a team game of 8 pts vs my kids - they each brought 4 pts of Vikings, I brought 4 pts of Scots and 4 pts of Norse-Gaels. Goal was to gather the livestock in the middle of the board and move it to your side. Lots of fun! My son is learning the rules really well - super stoked #SAGA

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.
Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
