Most reasonable people would get angry about someone lying about shit and then telling them they're wrong for calling them out and backhandedly accusing them of being pedophiles for disagreeing, and that is exactly what happens every time this topic comes up. I do have a vested interest in keeping the US from setting up a legal justification/precedent/system for incarcerating and killing trans people, of which I am one, and conservatives have been pushing the narrative that trans people are converting/targeting kids specifically for this reason. Any legal framework targeting pedophiles for anything other than actual crimes against children will be hijacked by conservatives and used against me and people I care about for the crime of being queer.

    Repeated exposure and normalization are basic psychology that would be introduced in even the most rudimentary Intro to Psychiatry text book. They are basic tools used by therapists, advertisers, politicians, ect, ect to do everything from good to bad like convince you that spiders aren't horrifying, black people = white people, being gay is ok, ADHD doesn't mean you're defective, that you just should buy certain items because they match the lifestyle you think you deserve, and more recently that being a racist pedo rapist is acceptable as President.

    You can claim that you are fighting for gay rights by tossing all the children to the pedos, but that is bullshit. If you are actually gay, then you are purposely equating homosexuality with pedophilia. The only way your argument wouldn't automatically make you one of the dumbest people on the planet is if you were purposely throwing on the "gay" mantle to reinforce the association of "gay" with "pedo" (like some political huckster), or if you were a pedo trying to deflect people from calling you out as the pedo that obviously are.

    You're a complete fucking moron and dead wrong about absolutely everything, your "think of the children" bullshit will inevitably be co-opted by conservatives to target queers, history repeating itself because you're too fucking stupid to learn from it.

    So you're gonna pretend conservatives aren't loudly equating the mere existence of trans people with threats to the children? Unfortunately some of us don't have the luxury of ignoring reality because it actually affects us
