it's genuinely maddening how as soon as you start talking about youthlib as a transfem, nothing will really help your case anymore. it suddenly stops mattering how well-reasoned your arguments are, or how many of us openly talk about being youth liberationists because they were subjected to csa as children, it doesn't even matter if it's an actual child talking about their own oppression! no logic or reason gets through, there's nothing that will stop the immediate flood of accusations of being a child predator. the act of advocating for children's empowerment and liberation is seen as incriminating enough by itself. everyone's brains just shut down. if there isn't any dirt to find on you, they'll just pretend that it's there for everyone to see. optics is straight up an impossibility.
so, keeping in mind that i am doomed regardless of what i say, here is my new slogan:
i am for youth liberation because i believe everyone, regardless of age, should have the right to sleep with your mother like i did last night
