    Can I apply that logic to other hot button issues related to children making decisions about sexuality and their bodies, or would that get me banned?

    Yes this dude is fucked up, but a whole lot of you are wild hypocrites who ignore the victimization of children when it’s related to your own pet issues.

      Are you comparing trans kids receiving gender affirming care to being able to have sex with adults? Because it certainly sounds like that’s what you are insinuating here. If so that is an incredibly transphobic bad faith comparison.

      What do you guys think? Personally the language used here lines up pretty well with the dogwhistles most TERFs use to attack gender affirming care like puberty blockers but I’d love to hear what you have to think.

      Are the issues of children making decisions in the room with you?

      Are you planning to find a ragebait website with a history of misinformation and clear bias about one incident that you’ve now use as a blanket statement of your entire worldview?

        Cute, but not at all what I’m doing. I agree fully with you that this dude is fucked in the head. I’m just sick of seeing other sick behaviour getting a pass. I want to see people keep their own personal ideas about sexuality the fuck away from children.

        Fuck me right?

          From you

          wild hypocrites

          From wiki

          Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwiː/;[1] Latin for ‘you also’) is a discussion technique that intends to discredit the opponent’s argument by attacking the opponent’s own personal behavior and actions as being inconsistent with their argument, so that the opponent appears hypocritical.

          You’re doing exactly that. Nobody is talking about whatever else you’re thinking about and it’s irrelevant.

                I’m talking about what ogmios was alluding to without ever coming out and saying. It’s a pretty common tactic with transphobes to equate supporting trans kids with letting children make adult decisions. Their “logic” is “if a fourteen year old can’t decide to fuck an adult they can’t possibly be responsible for knowing their gender doesn’t match what they were assigned at birth.”

                  Ah I see it now, the implication they made is disgusting and transphobic, and also is incredibly off-topic since these weren’t issues that were being brought up here, as in their comment was transphobic and off-topic.

            I’m not trying to discredit you though. I’m asking you to extend your reasonable assessment of this situation to other situations which people around here remain wilfully blind too.

                I’m sorry if you can’t see why there’s a connection between this guy arguing for exposing children to sexuality and the exposure of children to sexuality elsewhere, but a reasonable person should be able too.

                  Maybe I’m just dumb as fuck but what are you talking about?

                  You seem to be referencing a different issue but you never say what the issue is. People are downvoting you a lot so I guess other people know what you’re referring to but I have no idea.

                  Why be so vague?

                    I think maybe they are one of those people who equates transgender hormone treatment and/or sex ed that includes information on homosexuality to sexual abuse, not sure what else this vagueposting would be about
