「そんな妄想が消えなくて…」 “That kind of fantasy just won’t go away…”

"If you think hateful thoughts about yourself, and you're queer, that's queerphobic, and it's illegal to be queerphobic during pride month!"

How about we not make straight queers* feel guilty and paranoid about being "not queer enough" during pride month? (*Aspec straights, trans & gender diverse straights, intersex straights, lesbihets, turihets, m-specs straights, polyamorous hets, nonrose hets, etc, etc, etc?)

How about we not make people with internalized queerphobia feel guilty for intrusive thoughts?

How about we stop making a billion posts encouraging moral OCD during pride month?

Tokyo Mew Mew was the first Magical Girl Anime I ever watched. Needless to say it has a special place in my heart.

If you're worried about preventing future hypothetical abuse, educate the kids in how to protect themselves. Encourage strong support networks. Tell them what is and isn't appropriate behaviour of adults and kids. Tell them they can say "no".

If you're worried about people becoming "pedophiles," then provide services where people who have inappropriate intrusive thoughts or unhealthy obsessions of any kind can seek help anonymously and without judgement and work through their issues.

But also bear in mind that the people with the aforementioned mental health issues are not necessarily the ones who sexually abuse kids, and many cases of sex offences against kids are not motivated by sexual attraction. Often, like many cases of abuse, it's an expression of power and dominance, or a desire to hurt, humiliate and shame the victim. If you want to stop those people, again, education is key. Teach children about bodily autonomy- their own and others'. Encourage respect for other people, so they grow up knowing they are not entitled to another person's body.

But funnily enough, the people who like to fearmonger about "PEDOPHILES!!!" tend to also be the people who want to keep their children sheltered and ignorant.
