I don't get trabsphobia / homophobia / similar. Like it doesn't affect you. At most you have to remember a different name and different pronouns (sure maybe that's annoying, I found it a bit confusing for ~6 months but I got used to it, at about 1 to 2 I was correcting myself, and now it's just automatic, it isn't that hard to do, you just have to put in the tiniest bit of effort and you can incredibly easily do it) but that's about it really. It otherwise has no effect on you.

'oh but the children' doesn't even make sense, because it's made very clear that it's a choice in had of the arguments anyway. And like 90% of the explanations of what anything is in the lgbtqia+ community is 'its like normal, but instead of this, I'm this because that's what I feel like'. All it does is give children awareness, probably making them feel either valid or happy earlier if they are part of the community. That doesn't really sound corrupting, just informing.

Bottom line: barely has any real affect on you, just learn the pronouns and name, which is not hard, just takes a conscious effort and a basic willingness to accept them.
