@missstrogen is lovely and well worth your time. She’s well worth paying attention to
hey! @missstrogen is cool, you should go check her out :)
In the end, our grandpa didn't do what he did because he's an evil pervert he did it because violating the rights of children is normal. He isn't an evil pedophile, he's an adult with power over me. I don't think he did it for sexual pleasure, I just think that it was a way to assert power of his grandkid. Painting him as an Evil Pedo only hinders understanding why he did what he did, and stops us from fighting this system.
Ultimately, he has nothing in common with like, my friends who find lolis hot. To say he does is stupid and actively stops us from dismantling the problematic systems. The hurt my friends have done to children is not comparable to A Parent.
I don't have a pretty story to tell. I didn't get to "kill my local pedophile". I had to live with it, he did that and got away with it, because that's how these things work. Fantasies must sound so nice. In reality like many others he doesn't have a secret stash of CP or whatever yall like to imagine.
I don't want him to die. He's my grandpa. I hate what he did but he's still my grandpa. I internalized what he did as okay, as acceptable for a long time, because he didn't fit the specter of the Pedophile that we're taught about. He was just an adult with power.
So yeah. You can sit with that dream, and know that the only thing you do is make it worse for girls like me. The only way to fight CSA is to remove adults from power over children. "Pedophiles" are an obfuscation, and I hate what you people do to victims.
Look man. *I'm speaking to my audience when I say man*
An alarming amount of these people are children who are encouraged to lie about their ages in this discourse. You don't need to engage or argue or grandstand with everyone.
I'm reblogging this to expose the number of notes (not that many when you about it) and to expose some logic.
You need to feel bad for these stuck people and not platform their voices.
How can I tell plenty of these people are children? Age regressing is not like, a skill. You still have to hone down the critical speech of an adult to simplicity. The more natural the simplicity, and the faultier and hastier the logic, I say the likelihood that the person is a kid higher.
Like. This post makes no sense and literally hate to side step a story about abuse to say its ethical conclusion is not bound in reality but its not. Its not.
Several testimonies in the notes are equally immature and uninformed. More isolationist than they are even capable of being communally accepted or damaging. People abuse each other for all kinds of reasons.
But adults get away with and are subsequently scrutinized and humiliated for the sex abuse of children because they cannot give informed consent. Ever.
I'd bet money OP is an actual child. I'd put every dollar in my accounts on it.
Free and completely ethical blocklist. They've blocked most of my friends already.
let's break this down
open with "man" (but dw, I'm only classifying everyone in my audience as a man not you 🙄)
She can totally just tell when people are children. no bias, totally not a self-serving delusion, "we can always tell"
she doesn't hate to side step a story about abuse, that's an outright lie. they do it constantly. I've been rubbing their faces in it for days. not ONCE have any of them acknowledged the victims speaking EXCEPT to target Nyxie. here they are doing it again: only acknowledging victims when they can use it to hurt someone.
calling victims "immature". so so quick to insult and dismiss people for a lack of maturity, I'm sure that's really helpful to any children who might want to have their story taken seriously. horrible jackass.
"adults get away with it and are subsequently scrutinized" they know that they target people who have never hurt children, they have walked back allegations before. does that paragraph sound like she's speaking with that in mind, or are they implying they've Always Been Justified.
I'll take that bet, but only if you agree to it in writing. Do you want to take that bet, @mountpanthe0n? Please take the bet, you dumb fuck.
this is the degree of self-delusion that you have to operate under to keep this crusade going for months or years at a time. any reasonable person would be crushed by self-doubt, but they never doubt themselves at all.
and so it is easy for them to hurt people. it makes them feel good. identifying people and categorizing them as a Bad Person reaffirms their status as a Good Person. it's playground logic, they bully people to make themselves feel good about their own insecurities.
frankly, it's enough to make you wonder: how many children have these people hurt? they speak like they have a guilty conscience that they're desperately running from. is that really a fucking coincidence?
"free and completely ethical"
(I couldn't reblog mountpantheon's post. So I'm relobgging this.)
So first off. I'm an adult. This is me retelling my personal story of abuse. I skip details because these are mine to live with. You are not owed anything about this story beyond what I choose to tell. Beyond that, I do not allow you to criticize this story, to frame it as fake.
The reality of the story is that he abused me. The reality is also that he was otherwise a sweet kind man. He just didn't think of it as abuse. It was normal. It was normal.
Yall keep acting like he had to be a pedophile. Yall keep acting like I don't know what happened to me well enough. The argument that I have to be a kid is a painfully clear rhetorical tool. You act like you gotta protect children. But you show your hand here. You believe that I can't be trusted with how I understand my own story. You believe that I have to be wrong about the things that happened to me. And in turn, you believe I'm a kid.
You are not different from him. You are not different from all the adults in my youth who acted like I couldn't know what happened to myself, like I couldn't know myself.
You are not safe around children. By using "she's a kid" as an excuse to hand-wave as wrong any uncomfortable story, you show how you see children, and I know how you'd act if a kid told you about being abused.
You are doing it right now. You're seeing a story of abuse you think written by a kid. And what do you do? It's uncomfortable to you. But if it's written by a kid, you can just hand-wave that kid as unable to know what happened to herself.
But what if I was a kid. After all; you seem so determined to say that's the case.
Do you feel Proud? Targeting children? Talking about how bad and dangerous they are? Is it protecting children to talk about the evil dangerous kids?
If I'm a kid, you are protecting abuse. By denying me the right to define my own story of what happened to me, by refusing to listen to victims, to what you think of as kids, YOU ARE PROTECTING ABUSERS.
@afroartinc Do you feel better ignoring the things I say so you can call me an abuser. Do you feel better when you avoid looking at all the ways you are currently protecting abusers? Does it feel good to ignore abuse victims in the name of "defending abuse victims"?
You want me dead, and you call me a child abuser. We both know this. You have said it over and over. Is that part of "fighting abuse", too? Look at what I tell you and stop pretending you are a good person. You can change and it is easy to do so. Stop protecting abusers.
I want to be proud of the young woman you’re becoming. Please give me the opportunity. Let me see you flourish into someone confident and strong and beautiful. I don’t care how long it takes or how small the steps are or even if sometimes you backslide a bit. I want to see you be happy, be yourself.
Its so unfortunate how bad having a solid sense of ethics instead of reacting to things that make you feel icky catches people's anger.
Being anti-fascist means in fact, being against fascist ideals (such as "kill all undesirables")
you'd think this would be an easy concept to grasp!! and yet
So, why can’t I kidnap people who haven’t realized they’re girls yet? I mean, think about it. If we live in a world with unending mass pressure to conform to masculine expectations, me putting a few girls in my basement is really evening it out
I love being alive. I don’t think I would ever have been this happy if I wasn’t living as a woman. It’s only natural to want to spread joy….
It’s true!! They’re absolutely infatuated with me. They literally can’t stop thinking about me
It’s really interesting framing. It’s all just reactionary though. They’re putting themselves in the headspace that if they aren’t driving me off the platform, that they’re hurting people. Which, just isn’t a healthy way to live. Child abuse is a systemic problem, not a problem that can be solved with an individual hunting down and punishing an individual.
The world needs more trans women. So you should eat. Eat more so there’s more of you and there’s more trans women in the world
It’s true!! They’re absolutely infatuated with me. They literally can’t stop thinking about me
It’s true!! They’re absolutely infatuated with me. They literally can’t stop thinking about me
hehehe yayyyyy girls want to give me kisses and little treats. my life is so awesome. I love having a group of girls who are so so thankful and happy for me in their life. I love being here for them and they seem to like me too. And we’re all trans girls
Being mean to me really just is not reasonable behavior. I am “platforming” trans joy, pushing for more girls, for being a girl to be normalized in society. If you think that I’m the wrong girl to do that, to try to undo the forced masculinity that society expects, then just block me and move on.
I have a suggestion. I have an expectation. I will enact it. I’m not shutting up
I want you to live.
And the best way I know how, starts with coming out to yourself.
I want you to live.
There is still time. It's never too late to transition.
