The article itself is worth reading, but it includes a link to a Sacramento bee article about this woman and her trans kid. It seems like after the kid came out as trans, the mom really went off the deep end :

https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article285961211.html

This woman is so wrapped up in her anti-trans crusade that it's not just ruining her relationship with her child, but it's consuming her to the point that it's all she talks about. The article mentions that her friends and co-workers have had to ask her to stop sending articles about it. And now she's been kicked out of the hotel she was staying at because she saw some guys in dresses and started throwing a fit. The hotel even offered to refund her stay, but she persisted and got escorted out by the cops instead.

She seems stuck in a misery of her own making. At least her kid seems to have a level head about all of it. I will never understand how some parents would let stuff like that get in the way of their relationship with their kids.

Drag queens are not even trans a lot of the time. Some aren't even queer.

It's fucking performance art.

Well if there is one thing conservatives have never understood (and feel angry and small and left out because of it), it's art. Especially performance art.

Goebbels understood it quite well. He just wasn't a stupid Nazi.

I don't know enough about the man himself to confirm or deny... I guess he was the propaganda minister when Leni Riefenstahl was "discovered" (though according to wiki, it was Hitler who was mesmerized by her work and had Goebbels assign her to the task)

This will give you a lot of information (although it contains a lot of highly offensive Nazi imagery, so you might want to view it somewhere people can't see you just in case) - https://www.dw.com/en/how-the-nazis-used-poster-art-as-propaganda/a-55751640
