Fearmongering about "normalization" preys on the misconception that abnormality is what makes child sexual abuse wrong. In reality, CSA is bad because it harms children, causes trauma, and reflects a violation of boundaries.

This is important because this fearmongering is often used to justify spreading misinformation, which actually harms prevention efforts and can lead to higher rates of CSA.

A trans woman in Texas was harassed for being trans; she filled a police report and was then arrested for “filing a false report” and “being a man in a dress”. Violence against trans people is escalating and becoming a more direct goal of the state. liberationnews.org/trans-woman

CSA Prevention Blog 

Finally got around to finishing a blog piece that's been sitting in my drafts folder for a bit. Talks about #research #funding and #csa #prevention through an ongoing project of mine.

I know my approach is not a typical one, but I've always appreciated the paths less traveled. If you're curious about that "path less traveled," take a moment to read this post. I'm grateful that you did!

Telling kids that people who commit abuse are monsters prevents them from recognizing abuse when the perpetrator is someone they love and trust.

stop referring to child sexual exploitation material as “child porn.”

pornography refers to erotic material consensually produced by adults. children are incapable of giving consent. their participation in “pornography” is never consensual & always exploitation.

but moral panics—where individuals are presented as unclear threats to a social order that must be preserved by exiling them—that's the preferred mode of social control on the right. but it has appeal beyond the right, which is what makes it really dangerous.
