Anyone who has a problem with trans people should be assumed to be a pedophile. No one without some serious skeletons in their closet is that concerned about other people’s lives and bodies.

That’s… a bleak path towards a different flavor of hysteria. You end up with people digging shit takes out of each other’s posting feeds and calling one another pedophiles.

Lots of people are pumped full of anti-Trans hysteria, anti-Trans propaganda, and ideological dogma about gender. And if one of these people finds out a friend or a family member is coming out as transgender, and doesn’t know how to process that news politely, I cannot imagine how telling them “You’re a child fucker” helps anyone. Least of all anyone who has actually experienced sexual assault as a child.
Turning pedophile into an insult rather than a crime just further weaponizes it for folks with the biggest megaphones. That’s how you get “The Sound of Freedom” mobilizing lynch mobs of know-nothing bigots.
