This is important work, even more so going forward. The Church Moms twist the idea of representation into "sexualization", seemingly ignoring the actual rampant sexualization of minors in advertising and popular culture. Expect more of this as all tech oligarchs cozy up to the new political order, and a continuation of pressures on schools and libraries to remove any representation that is not white or heteronormative. They'll try to do it quietly.
Meta has a long history of things like this and when they get caught and called out it’s always “oopsie daisy we will do better” but they never actually do better. They also lack accountability and oversight.

So damaging for young LGBTQ+ people!
So glad you shined light on this. This is important journalism.
