You are well out of touch with what is going on.
First of all, I don't know anyone aho would take their kids to eyes wide shut. People of the right would be just as outraged with that as the drag queen shows. Most people on the right just don't want their kids exposed to any sexual stuff, regardless of if it's hetro sexual stuff or gay sexual stuff.
They want their kids watching innocent kids TV shows like Peppa Pig or Paw Patrol.
This is true of everyone. Most people wouldn't do that, it's just very obviously bad parenting, and those people are the exceptions, as is the case with people taking kids to drag burlesque or whatever.
But if we're being honest with ourselves, parents taking kids to R rated movies with sex in them is probably at least 1000 times more common than them taking them to drag burlesque, but only the latter gets the sort of moral panic and hours of hand wringing on Fox news every time one video surfaces of some idiot that did it.
However, people are noticing that some people arnt just happy with doing it to their kids they try and creep it into other people's kids. Drag queen book reading to children.
Did you seriously just jump from "sexualized drag shows" to "reading books to children" as if they're the same?
Drag Queen Storybook stuff is perfectly wholesome and it's popular because kids respond to camp and costumes and funny voices. They love that shit for the same reason they love Blues Clues.
As for "Gender Affirming care", you are way off.
Hormone blockers are typically given to kids at 10 or 11 years of age.
They're not "typically" given at all. Fewer than 5% of trans kids under 18 get puberty blockers.
These hormone blockers will absolutely have life lasting effects on how their body matures as they age. These effects are non reversible.
Children are then given hormone treatment like testosterone or estrogen at 16 years of age. Again, this will have a massive effect on them later in life including making them sterile in some cases.
Again, only in a relatively small percentage of cases.
And yes transition during adolescence will have a profound effect on the rest of their lives, but also tremendous benefit if they truly are going to live their lives as a trans person. They will develop secondary sex characteristics of the gender they will be living as and they will be able to pass for that gender socially in ways that those that transition later often can't and they'll be happier, experience less bigotry, and fewer professional obstacles. Other than their partners, they may never even need to tell anyone they're trans and live normal lives, which is a huge blessing for those people.
I do think it's incredibly important to get it right and if you were to put a kid through this and they grew out of it, then that's absolute malpractice. But there are some cases where it's obviously correct. These might be outliers but they exist.
Reasonable minds can disagree on that point of course, and if you haven't encountered one of these kids who are just obvious trans from 3 years old, I wouldn't blame you. The important thing here is to remember we do all agree when it comes to 95% of cases and this isn't the epidemic it's made out to be.
Mastectomy in children (got to love how they call it "top surgery" instead of Mastectomy) is done under the age of 18, and has been done as young as 12.
The procedure is getting more and more popular in young children.

As I said, cutting a young girls breasts off is just disturbing.
In the sense that 0.013% is more common than 0.011%, yes, but these cases are so incredibly rare, only a couple hundred per year nationally.
That said, we're probably in agreement that minors shouldn't be allowed to get gender affirming surgery, as there's no real long-term benefit in terms of the result. "Just wait" seems like the correct policy on that.
We have laws in place to stop children drinking at a young age, stop them getting tattoos, smoking, having sex,.voting, etc etc, because they lack the maturity to make these decisions that can effect them in life before they are mature enough to know exactly what they are doing.
Yeah, of course I don't think kids should be able to do any of this simply because they "decide" to.
All people on the right are saying is don't do any of this shit to them until they are adults and know exactly what they are doing.
I wish that was all these people were saying, but it's not. Most people on the right and the left agree with this, actually, and I MOSTLY agree myself, but I personally think there are rare exceptions.
But that isn't "all" people on the right say. They often misgender trans people, say they can never be the gender they want, characterize them as perverts, and accuse them of corrupting children. This sort of all or nothing thinking makes it very tough to have reasonable discourse.
