Have we learned nothing from FL about the negative consequences a bill like this has on our youth?

Anyway, I hate having to focus on this at all, but “child safety” is weaponized so much in ways that are currently threatening everyone’s safety due to aggressive surveillance, biometrics, censorship, etc. These folks actual agenda has to be exposed, it’s getting out of hand.

The “children are seeing porn online!” crisis manufacturing is all actually about accessing non-graphic LGBTQ material or education, which is why those campaigners don’t tell parents about simple “whitelist” tools that already solve the actual porn problem

One of the worst pieces of 2022 discourse (to plague my profession anyway) is that providing young people with education about bodies, consent, and sexuality is “gr@@ming.” It’s such a shitty accusation. It’s such a low blow. And the opposite is true.

Abusers are drawn to positions of power over the vulnerable, hence why you can commonly find them as clergy members, scout leaders, or, as in this case, cops https://buff.ly/3VfSWQj

"So whether you enjoy fantasy to help in overcoming trauma or as an outlet for your sexuality, do so with the peace of mind knowing what you’re enjoying is a harmless human instinct. And you aren’t alone." https://buff.ly/3GRBsoo

For #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay let's build awareness for how abortion access is a trafficking issue. I was trafficked in states as a child that now have abortion bans without exceptions for children. I could have been forced into labor as a 9 yr old. I really hate this country

Some survivors are experts, and some experts are not survivors. You are an expert in your OWN life experiences, but not necessarily others’. And often, victims internalize the lies fed to them by their abusers. They may go on to repeat them to invalidate other victims.
