But I think there are also some who fear that there's some kind of mysterious "contagion" in the air that may turn themselves or their kids (especially their kids) gay or trans. There seems to especially be a lot of paranoia pately about kids turning trans just because they think it's trendy or something. (Which is of course utterly ridiculous, but that is a thing that is going on with some right wingers, unfortunately.)
