Jonathan Booth is an associate law professor at the University of Colorado and author of the article A New Satanic Panic, which draws parallels from the Satanic Panic of the 1980s-90s to the moral panic of our day: the existence of transgender people.

I called him up to talk about both panics, their similarities, their differences, and the role of the police and the law in each.

Clips from this will appear in my upcoming video about Twin Peaks & The Satanic Panic. Enjoy!

When I was in maybe the 6th grade, and YouTube was kind of a new thing, I snuck downstairs one night to watch videos on my mom's iMac, and I was a big Led Zeppelin fan. I ended up finding all these recordings played backwards that REALLY spooked me out at the time. I was never a particularly superstitious kid, I asked *my mom, is God real like how Santa is "real"?. She said that she believed in God, however, I did not have too. I could make up my mind. So I decided God was made up, like the tooth fairy, or Santa Claus, and this was when I was maybe 5/6 years old. I think it was the OCD elements in my brain waking up due to sleep deprivation and the fact that I was 10/11 years old, so I say all of that to say : If I had not had a mother who encouraged me to make autonomous choices around religious and spiritual belief concepts, and instead I had fundamentalist parents or something, idk if I would have been able to reality check out of it. I went to my mom and she was kind of amused but concerned that the Satanic panic got to me, of all people, lmao. She put my fears mostly to rest, said it was bullshit, and while I still felt scared, I trusted my mother's barometer for bullshit.
