that's certainly likely as well, but the thing is that these laws are getting passed nonetheless, and people are being prosecuted over them, and these "laws" are being debated out at the Senate level, after they've become law.
so perhaps the real question is, if the "powers that be" need to misdirect people using such extreme tyrannical nonsense, what nefarious activities are they really trying to cover up...
The British government is also going completely nuts with criminal charges for nonsense. British prosecutors charged a woman for calling a man a “pussy”. Then there is the case of a businessman who was charged with a hate crime for saying to a transgender man presenting himself as a woman – “all right geezer.” He alleged he simply said that to him/her when they passed in the street. Vernon Mussington was found guilty but appealed and finally had his conviction overturned.

Maybe that's what people need to start asking themselves and others next time we get bombarded with stuff that is supposedly causing outrage.
They go with the trans subject because they know people will pay attention, when people stop paying attention they'll just go with another subject.
It's like abortion and gay marriage, every time they wanted people distracted they'd bring it up but they've used those subjects so much that it hardly has an effect now. It's not like people have a say about what is presented in the news, remember Occupy Wall Street? Like a month went by before the news even mentioned something was going on.
Honestly I don't know what they're trying to cover up right now but I'm more concerned about government demanding disclosure of transfers made by people associated to Bitconnect within the last 90 days and orders to halt any crypto transfers until they say so. While I do think those involved should pay for knowingly tricking others, I don't think gov intervention is a good idea for the precedents they can create.
