    It’s all projection and it always has been. If a conservative states anything about protecting children it’s because they themselves are a significant threat to children, without exception.

    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.

      Anyone who has a problem with trans people should be assumed to be a pedophile.

      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.

      No one without some serious skeletons in their closet is that concerned about other people’s lives and bodies.

      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.

    State Sen. J. Stuart Adams loves child-rapists.

    Attorneys also pointed out that, under the old law, if the accused rapist had been 17 and his victim had been 14 years old instead of 13 years old, the accused rapist would’ve been charged with a Class B misdemeanor rather than felony charges.

    But he wasn’t and she wasn’t. Can I point out that if I hadn’t premeditated a murder I could qualify for manslaughter charges? No. Because the law is defined and not malleable. Unless you’re related to a senator named J. Stuart Adams, who loves child-rapists.

    Reminder: not a democrat, not an immigrant, not a drag queen, not a trans athlete, not a member of the LGBTQ community.

    Trans people put girls at risk of being aware of their bodily autonomy and advocating for themselves.

    Trans people put children at risk of realizing there are alternatives to the dogmatic conservative view of gender.

    Rapists help impose patriarchal control over the population by traumatizing anyone who would resist or rebel against the culture of submission.
