large numbers of people are beginning to recognize intuitively that the complete liberalization of attitudes towards sex is enabling a climate that endangers children. sure, expression of this may not always be the most articulate but that doesn’t make it a “moral panic”
the Very Smart and Nuanced do not want to reckon with the implications of liberal sexual (lack of) morality, because A. it’s gross and scary and B. they have invested so much in the idea that attaching meaning and morality to sex is oppressive and outdated
but seemingly from every angle, the detachment of sex and the body from nature, responsibility, and meaning has logically resulted in an ideology that can’t distinguish the action of sex from any other action, or the body from any other matter subject to one’s will
it’s not difficult to see where it leads. if rape is no different than being forced to get a job, then what is the argument for how child sexual abuse is worse than being forced to clean your room? genuinely, what answer do they have other then “muh right wing moral panic”?
if the body and sex are so meaningless that a child who believes in the tooth fairy can consent to future infertility, inability to orgasm, and inability to have intimate relationships, what is the argument as to why a child can’t consent to sexual acts?
“well child abuse is bad obviously” isn’t good enough if the ideology you are popularizing does not support that conclusion.
clearly, we lack a consensus on how to answer these questions, and people are picking up on the dangers that lie ahead if the logical conclusions of disembodied, hedonistic attitudes towards sex continue to proliferate.
this is what people mean by “grooming” and warnings that society is “normalizing pedophilia”

it’s not an argument that leftists all literally want to rape children
it’s an expression of the increasing loss of societal norms and principles that explain why abusing children is wrong

it’s a warning that the normalization of prostitution, pornography, and child transgenderism is ushering in norms that excuse and enable child abuse
you may think “that’s insane, society will never get to the point where raping kids is okay”

but look around you. would anybody 50 years ago DREAM of transing a kid?

there are already those who believe rape is no worse than getting a job, and they’re winning peoples minds

i understand the pain of these trans activists, i mean i was one. i know what its like to be really weird in a way that doesnt fit into more acceptable ways of deviating (i wasnt a "tomboy" or "alternative", just weird), and growing up that way is profoundly painful.
so i understand why they are in love with the idea that there is liberation to be found in pretending to be someone else. maybe some people assume based on how i look now that i dont know what its like, but holy shit i do.
these are people who radically reject themselves. they have banished their true selves into a realm that is so far away from their consciousness they think authenticity is a fake name and deleting all your old photographs and changing your documents and getting plastic surgery.

as a former weird patty, "making it a little less likely weird patty wont kill themselves" is a pretty accurate description of what transitioning did for me.
just because a girl is weird doesnt mean she needs to be transed. weird girls are really cool and epic just the way we are.
says a lot that evan believes that "all american katie" should be allowed to grow up healthy and happy, but "weird patty" deserves to be lied to about her body making her suicidal and then pumped up with hormones and have her body parts cut off.

i promise you kids really really really really really really really really really really do not need strange adults teaching them how to have sex or watch porn or masturbate
i’m thankful that we are finally waking up and getting things like that family sex show shut down, but i can’t believe we allowed “sex education for children” to become a thing. LET KIDS BE KIDS.
if some adult came up to your kid and started telling them about porn or inviting them to touch themselves, they’d get arrested

but when it’s an “expert” providing “sex education” they’re paid to come to the school

im increasingly believing all this gender stuff is primarily about driving a wedge between parent and child in order to indoctrinate the child. the trans movement clearly operates as a cult and/or revolutionary movement, they feed off of broken families.
its true, a lot of the young ppl who get sucked into trans have strained relationships with their parents, but trans radicalization makes it much worse. it perfectly sets up each person in the family to panic, miscommunicate, behave erratically, and feel hurt, betrayed, and angry
in this uncannily identical way. ive talked to hundreds of parents at this point, and the way trans radicalization hijacks and exploits every weakness in the individuals and their relationships is like its designed to do just that.

fighting the trans movement through politics and culture and regulation of the medical industry is crucial but tbh much of that goes over my head

what makes sense to me is that if you help and inform parents, you help their kids. i truly believe family is the best antidote.
its hard to even care about the bad things that come with the territory of sharing my vulnerable life experiences with countless strangers online when i get messages every single day from parents detailing how i helped them handle a situation or take care of their family better
a lot of people will judge parents because of the way they have handled their teen doing the trans thing, or difficulties that already existed in their relationship that may have contributed, but shutting them out wont help.

except asking for self reported suicide attempts is not a reliable measure. people are known to exaggerate on things like this because it is seen as legitimizing/sympathetic and fits an ideological narrative that is important to them. people report NSSI a suicide attempt.
if you wanted a reliable statistic, you would want to see how many transgender identified people or gender patients were seen in a medical setting for suicide attempt. but that is hard to do in a system like the US. in a centralized system like the UK the #s are minuscule
when i was a self harming, trans identified teenager, i would tell people i had suicide attempts. my logic was

“well i do self harm, and even though i’ve never full on attempted it, i do think about it sometimes and people need to know that trans people are suffering”
