Paedophilia is evil, life-destroying violence. If this guy's harmed kids, I want the book thrown at him.
Whereas trans kids are just trans kids, and comparing all people who support them (like their parents) to paedophiles is utterly sick.
Weaponising the horror of child rape against those who defend and support vulnerable kids is every kind of wrong.
Paedophiles love to attack supportive parents of trans children. They call us "groomers" and claim to be saving children. The same way they used to picket police stations claiming to want to end FGM.
I am eternally suspicious of any man who says they are saving kids from something which is not real child abuse. And yes, that includes men who say they want to save trans kids.
You're missing the point. I don't know if this man has done anything wrong, but men who want to harm children often swarm charities and causes claiming to save them. Children In Need have a robust safeguarding policy against this, because it happens so often - execs have talked about it.
Think Jimmy Savile, in that regard.
That does not mean trans children are "groomed" into being trans or that being a trans child has anything to do with child abuse. That is a malicious lie - and to find its roots, look at the 'men are turned gay after being raped as children' myth which was so common until the early 20th century. It persists today, but is usually shouted down because of the wide acceptance that some people are just gay. Well, some people are just trans, too - and most knew it, unprompted, from an early age.
Paedophiles are hiding in plain sight in the anti-trans movement. They get to talk all day about kids ' genitals and breasts, and claim to be saviours. They're the ones who send parents like me their sick fantasies about girls showering with grown men (as if any parent allows their kids to shower naked or change clothes with adult strangers of any gender present). I see them all, and block them. There are plenty on this forum, and GC women need to be far more wary of them.
