@lizzie it warms my heart that you were able to provide such a safe space for them. it breaks my heart all the same that a broken society has forbidden you from doing so again.
@julia in an ideal world we could actually provide wonderful resources for children who may be confused about their identity, giving them a significantly safer and healthier path than we got.
but saying woke nonsense like that doesn't make you "one of the good ones". instead, you get treated like a groomer that's hell-bent on spreading your icky transness like a cancer.
i think the ugly root of the problem is that trans people are made to be Terrified of being around children. because to some very mentally ill cishets, a queer person's mere presence around a child is, somehow, inherently predatory.
i don't hate children, but this rhetoric has made me fearful to the point of anger at the idea of being anywhere near someone under 18. mission failed successfully, i guess.
what's that? we're sanitising everything so that children can roam everywhere? welp, guess i'll go fuck myself. privately.
my frustration comes from fear. i want to feel comfortable exploring edgier, more adult art in the future, but the thought that an unattended minor would most likely consume it feels like a searing hot iron in my brain
i suppose it's on me for making my avatar a silly little goober and playing silly little goober games. clearly i must only play big mature games for adults or make guides on homekeeping or something
you ever see something bad on your big-ass monitor then start shaking your head so the hypothetical neighbours staring through your window know you disagree
