After Jimmy Saville, Catholic priests, paedophile rings, all the warnings and disasters that have come to light over the past thirty years, why are authorities queuing up to allow people who are neither experts nor educators to have unfettered access to children, to talk to them about their identity and sexuality? It's like a feeding frenzy, where men are being welcomed in with open arms to tell everyone that safe spaces aren't required. Filling children's heads with ideas that they're not old enough to understand. Bypassing parents, agreeing to keep secrets from parents, over-ruling parents.
It's so bonkers that it makes me want to cry. People have learned nothing from the abuse that children have been subjected to in the past when there was inadequate safeguarding. At least there was an excuse in the past, because things were hushed up. But there's no excuse now.
