EFF has long warned about this kind of mission creep: where a law or policy supposedly aimed at public safety is turned into a tool for political retaliation or mass surveillance. Going to a drag show should not mean you forfeit your anonymity. It should not open you up to surveillance. And it absolutely should not land your name in a government database.
It is 100% projection. Many of these Repubs can’t see a child without having sexual thoughts. They also love to write fanfiction about children getting raped.
Wanna bet the fan fictions is all futa too?
