I just can't understand it. Like, how does it feel to worry about what another person that you've never even met feels? That their hopes and dreams of self-actualization, which don't impact you in any way, become the things you obsess over and, in fact, hate. It's truly bizarre and horrible.
Many who do this are just piling on like others did to them as young people. If they had stood up to the bullies they would not have not become the bullies as adults.
I don’t see any ‘hate’ there. I do see a casual, lazy denial of feelings and convictions which, as you say, have fuck all to do with her and won’t materially affect her life or her own right to exist.
Yeah, I wouldn't pretend to be knowledgeable enough about this issue, but there are a lot of people who believe kids can be groomed into believing they are.
Would you mind if I start dictating what healthcare you and ur family can and can’t receive? If u want to dictate the care of others u don’t know it’s only fair of I get to make some medical decisions for u and ur family
There r also a lot of people that believe in online Christian prophets or qanon. That doesn’t mean we should hurt real children in a attempt to accommodate their beliefs
If I child confides in a teacher or counselor at school instead of a parent there is a reason that child doesn’t trust their parents. If a parent doesn’t make a child feel safe that is not the fault of the child or the school
I think kids are vulnerable, especially ones who're reaching out for help and that excluding parents from important decions is risky in more ways than one.
It's a firm red line for a lot of parents especially if they see affirmation as grooming/abuse.
What important decisions are schools making for students? Calling them by their preferred name? That was standard when I went to school. 1st day of class the teacher would ask students if they had a nickname of other name they preferred to be called
yk whenever you say parents must have a choice in something to do with their kids that's going to include abusive pieces of shit. Not everyone has good parents.
Right bc fascist frameworks pretend that abuse is only perpetuated by “out groups” and never by in groups. Their framework’s ultimate goal is to alienate all of us from each other, and to destroy any community bonds that arent sanctioned by power. But the christian right advocates for child abuse
I can understand it but from, like, the opposite side, maybe? Like I'm trans and heavily agoraphobic so when I'm out I'm constantly thinking "what if someone realizes I'm trans and they assault me?" So ig for me I'm worrying about if that person feels hatred towards people like me.
To the point where if I'm talking with someone and we pass nearby another person I stop talking because I fear my voice with my presentation might tick them off. At least the difference between me and Bari is I know it's an irrational feeling and I get out and try to combat it.

They genuinely feel they're saving children from mental abuse & castration
It's weird
