When that opinion is deeply harmful, is directly contrary to all scientific evidence, results in actual groomers (not trans people) being able to take advantage of ignorance, and is generally used by bigots as a wedge to repress sexual education well beyond teen years--yeah this is the response you get
Basically what you're saying is, conversation and opposing virepoints is harmful. Which is a fascist view.
OP's opinion about teaching young children, too young to grasp the concept of sexuality being wrong is simply their opinion. Many children grow out of gender identity disorder once they reach a certain age (not all, but many).
Your "science" is hotly contested around the world. Simply because you've chosen to accept a particular conclusion doesn't mean everyone has to.
I'm not addressing the grooming nonsense or "used by biogts" comment as they are simply left wing talking points.
I do not suspect I'll find meaningful dialog here as too many of you are hateful and close minded leading to an inability to have conversation that doesn't include insults and name calling. Cheers.
It's not fascist to oppose intolerance. You are attacking people's core identities; their right to exist. It's not an attack on you when people defend themselves from you. We're not discussing our favorite movies here. Some other examples of harmful lies:
"People with dark skin are dumb"
"Women are too emotional to make their own decisions"
"Poor people don't deserve clean air, water and food"
"Being queer is a mental disorder"
"Many children grow out of gender identity disorder once they reach a certain age" (seriously, this is totally made up. Less than 5% of people do this and many of those only detransition because of the hate they encounter)
Climate change is hotly contested too. That doesn't mean the people contesting it have any valid points. People who are actually invested in evidence-based research, not those trying to cobble together post-hoc justification for their fear, have a general consensus that giving children a basic understanding of what is and isn't sexually appropriate makes them much safer. And if a child asks whether it's okay to like either gender, it's easy to simply answer "yes."
I was curious about this and looked it up. Philip had a good comment on it. TL;DR, the studies people use for this claim are deeply flawed and should not be used as legitimate evidence. At least I know where transphobes are getting this claim from now.
Go cheers yourself with your lies.
