Yeah, the whole thing was a bullshit scheme to manufactured outrage, tapping into the deep MAGA impulse to play the victim.
3 million letters were sent from "The Texas Transgender Student Union," which turned out to be a Wyoming (not Texas) LLC created LAST MONTH by members of the Republican Women’s Caucus specifically for the purpose of sending these letters.

Have you noticed that flu season starts after the vaccines are given out?
Community note
Flu shots are given before flu season on purpose. The CDC advises getting vaccinated in September or October, ideally by the end of October, because it takes about two weeks after vaccination for protective antibodies to develop. cdc.gov/flu/vaccines/v…

Manufactured outrage from the GOP.
These letters were fake, sent out by GOP operatives, to facilitate a fictional narrative about public schools telling children how to transition.

I thought this was a joke at first.
Nope. This is the real (somehow) vice president of the United States actually saying this.
So, I guess it was Vance's idea of a joke.
Q: How do you expect us to start families young when the average price of a home feels out of reach?
JD VANCE: I want to point out that I've only gotten one question about Jon Husted's ass
