you don't hear people clutching their pearls over fictional depictions of gratuitous violence anymore and if they do they're laughed out of the room but the second there's fictional depictions of csa or rape it's the end of the world and we have to persecute the people doing it.
listen. listen to me. i was molested when i was 3 by my step father. my mother died from heart failure due to chronic stress when i was 4. i grew up in extreme poverty. it has been my entire life's work to understand why the fuck my life has been so terrible from the get go.
when i tell you that the people drawing disgusting pictures online don't really worry me as a csa survivor i do so with the knowledge that the people most likely to commit sexual acts on children are the people closest to them. that means their parents, teachers, family members, coaches, pastors, priests, etc.

In 60% of cases involving rape, the survivor knows the perpetrator.
In 34% of child sex abuse cases, the perpetrator was a family member.
Approximately 10% of students will experience sexual abuse by a school employee before they graduate high school, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Coaches committed nearly 20% of child sex abuse cases in school settings, as noted by Psychology Today.
Teachers were the perpetrators in over 63% of child sex abuse cases that occurred in schools, according to Psychology Today.
More than 4,000 Catholic priests have faced almost 11,000 sexual abuse allegations, as per the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
you can easily research this topic yourself. you can also take it upon yourself to try to understand the systemic forces at work in our society that enable child sexual abuse. or you can harass trans women on the internet for being mentally ill and not really the best at articulating their arguments. let me show you another statistic.
LGBTQI+ children are 3.8 times more likely to experience sexual abuse than cisgender children, as noted by the American Journal of Public Health.
if you actually care about the people you claim to care about, then figure out the root cause of this problem and address it and not the symptoms. people drawing gross fetish art online are a symptom of a larger problem. these people are probably also victims of csa who are trying to cope with their paraphilia in a way that doesn't cause actual material harm. if they're talking to children online and grooming them, arranging ways to meet up irl, etc, that's a completely separate topic. but as long as these people are engaging in their objectively awful fetish within their own communities of consenting adults, they are literally not causing harm to real human children. if they are engaging in age play or age regression with other consenting adults, again, they are not harming real human children. if they are drawing pictures, this is not CSAM. CSAM is a term reserved exclusively for the depiction of real children being abused and exploited. you are watering down and diminishing the definition of this term by applying it to fictional depictions of the subject.
stop pedojacketing trans women who are csa survivors. your moral outrage and anti-pedophile crusade is literally the exact same thing that has been happening to gay and trans people for over a century.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_grooming_conspiracy_theory
The LGBTQ grooming conspiracy theory is a far-right conspiracy theory and anti-LGBTQ trope which alleges that LGBTQ people, and those supportive of LGBTQ rights, are engaging in child grooming and enabling child sexual abuse. Although the belief that LGBTQ individuals are more likely to molest children has no factual basis, this stereotype has existed for decades in the United States and Europe, dating back to before World War II.[1]
Advocates for children's rights have protested that the conspiracy theories make it difficult for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to access resources and help.[25]
In the United Kingdom, the conspiracy theory began to be popularized within the gender-critical movement around 2020. That year, anti-transgender activist Graham Linehan was banned from Twitter after he began to use OK groomer as a term of abuse against those who criticized his activism.[63][19] The term OK groomer originated in 2020 as a play on OK boomer.[63]
Following the Wi Spa controversy in July 2021, Julia Serano noted a rise in false accusations of grooming directed towards transgender people, saying that it appeared as if there was a movement to "lay the foundation for just smearing all trans people as child sexual predators".[71]
A March 2023 report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) found that tweets on Twitter linking LGBT people to "grooming" have increased by 119 percent since Elon Musk purchased the social media platform in October 2022.[92]
the real cause of child sexual abuse comes down to capitalism, just like most everything else wrong with our society.

Sexual abuse within families is a grave issue. A significant factor is the lack of support systems. This includes both emotional and community support. Parents without support are more prone to stress and harmful behaviors.
Isolation can lead to dangerous situations. A parent who feels alone might lack proper judgment. They may not have anyone to talk to about their struggles. This can create a harmful environment.

It develops out of the pairing family, as previously shown, in the transitional period between the upper and middle stages of barbarism; its decisive victory is one of the signs that civilization is beginning. It is based on the supremacy of the man, the express purpose being to produce children of undisputed paternity; such paternity is demanded because these children are later to come into their father’s property as his natural heirs.
The first class opposition that appears in history coincides with the development of the antagonism between man and woman in monogamous marriage, and the first class oppression coincides with that of the female sex by the male. Monogamous marriage was a great historical step forward; nevertheless, together with slavery and private wealth, it opens the period that has lasted until today in which every step forward is also relatively a step backward, in which prosperity and development for some is won through the misery and frustration of others.
The democratic republic does not do away with the opposition of the two classes; on the contrary, it provides the clear field on which the fight can be fought out. And in the same way, the peculiar character of the supremacy of the husband over the wife in the modern family, the necessity of creating real social equality between them, and the way to do it, will only be seen in the clear light of day when both possess legally complete equality of rights. Then it will be plain that the first condition for the liberation of the wife is to bring the whole female sex back into public industry, and that this in turn demands the abolition of the monogamous family as the economic unit of society.
In any case, therefore, the position of men will be very much altered. But the position of women, of all women, also undergoes significant change. With the transfer of the means of production into common ownership, the single family ceases to be the economic unit of society. Private housekeeping is transformed into a social industry. The care and education of the children becomes a public affair; society looks after all children alike, whether they are legitimate or not. This removes all the anxiety about the “consequences,” which today is the most essential social – moral as well as economic – factor that prevents a girl from giving herself completely to the man she loves. Will not that suffice to bring about the gradual growth of unconstrained sexual intercourse and with it a more tolerant public opinion in regard to a maiden’s honor and a woman’s shame? And, finally, have we not seen that in the modern world monogamy and prostitution are indeed contradictions, but inseparable contradictions, poles of the same state of society? Can prostitution disappear without dragging monogamy with it into the abyss?

A referendum was held on 25 September 2022 in Cuba to approve amendments to the Family Code of the Cuban Constitution.[1] The revised code contains stronger rules on gender equality and modernizes protections for women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities. Moreover, legal recognition is given to same-sex marriage and adoption and altruistic surrogacy.[2][3] Following the code's approval, Cuba's family policies have been described as among the most progressive in Latin America.[4]
