TRA twitter is so illuminating. We have reams of the anime-avatered fulminating about the Times articles. A quick click into many of these profiles and it's a world of furry/anime/autogynephilia/other fetishes on proud display. These are some of the people positioning themselves as guardians of children
Our favourite knitting friend, meanwhile, responds to these damning articles on the damage being done to vulnerable children by, apparently apropos of nothing, pontificating on Faeself's favourite subject of how extreme porn is harmless really, if not actually nutritious and wholesome.
We see lots of male bodied adult trans persons who are self-described lesbians arguing that their "lesbianism" disproves any notion that transing children could ever involve inflicting dreadful, lifelong damage on confused and fragile children who might, if adequately supported, turn out to be simply gay. That's the whole problem right there - these adult activists cannot look beyond their own needs, their own desire for validation, their own paraphilias, their own oppression narrative, to consider the harm that is potentially being done to vulnerable children. In fact, the validation and oppression narrative requires the phenomenon of trans children.
