To: the Woke
A primer on the first rule of safeguarding.
Sometimes, adults invite private contact with vulnerable children or offer to keep secrets for them. When this happens we call it a red flag.
At worst: this person is attempting to groom those vulnerable children in order to abuse them.
At best: this person has no ill intent themselves but is still normalising private contact with adults in the mind of the child, which makes the child easier to groom and abuse by those who do have ill intent.
If you want to protect children who question their gender - and all the other children, if you can manage to care about them too - then you never break this cardinal first rule of safeguarding. You never invite private contact with a child. You never offer to keep its secrets. Because you don't break down children's boundaries: you build them up.
Any adult who does this is therefore unsuited to any role in child protection or to have any connection with child protection organisations.
Any person who defends another person doing this is therefore unsuited to ever speak of what or what is not appropriate in child protection matters.
In short: STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR CHILDREN UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT SAFEGUARDING IS.
