The best way to "stop the sexualization of children" is to eliminate the Epstein class.
1984 would be offended at rhis level of control and censorship.
How about the pedophile class stops discussing children?
"You certainly seem to spend a lot of time thinking about children's genitals," is my go-to to get them to shut up.

I am fucking sick of the entirety of these "people" having their wntire concept of being trans come from porn and therefore be entirely sexual in nature. I honestly don't want to live on this planet (or this country, or at all) anymore.
Man, they are really obsessed with trans life
As a leftist, you know how often I think about Trans folks? Not much.
Don't Ask Don't Tell 2, Electric Boogaloo?
Nah. Punching Nazis time.
This just isn't a pressing issue. More affordable housing, groceries, and healthcare, maybe?
Not pressing to you maybe, but state sanctioned descrimination like this is dehumanizing and dangerous. Shit like this rips apart families and gets kids killed.
It would be nice to live in a world where I don’t have to worry so much about bills, but that doesn’t mean shit to me if it comes at the cost of the erasure of anyone. Trans, queer, black, Latino, I don’t give a fuck.
What good is healthcare if it’s a felony to tell your doctor what's wrong with you? What good is affordable housing if no one will rent to you?
Liberation for all or none.
I agree with you. My point being that it's a shame politicians waste their time with the flavor of this week's culture war and dunking on the libs instead of fixing real issues and leaving these people alone.
The US is in the middle of a trans genocide, but sure go on and tell me about how that isn't pressing because it doesn't affect you specifically
The way I read jimothy's comment is that Republican politicians are using trans people as a distraction from issues they don't want to address. Conservatives are making problems by claiming trans people are bad in order to deflect attention away from problems their constiuents actually care about.
Conservative voters, if presented with the choice of healthcare or trans athletes, would absolutely prefer their politicians to focus on healthcare. A farmer in Iowa does not actually give a fuck what bathroom a trans person uses, their attention has just been redirected in that direction by grifters.
This is exactly it. They have to keep focusing on more narrower minorities. Can't do it to women, blacks, or even gay people anymore. They NEED a minority scapegoat to blame all their problems on. There's like 8 trans athletes in college in the U.S. right now and they passed a bill to ban them from competing. Meanwhile there's a housing crisis, fuel crisis, climate crisis, etc etc.
I'm not saying the problems trans people face aren't real or anything like that. Just that there seem to be more pressing issues that are affecting a greater number of people.

So you don't think things would be better if the GOP just ignored trans people and let them be and instead focused on fixing the economy? Because I think it would be great if right-wing politicians stopped focusing on people's sex, gender, and sexuality.
Relax. Keep reading for context.
Yeah you definitely misinterpreted his comment
Less than 1% of the population.
Wait, are you saying trans people are less than 1% of the population, or that less than 1% of the population get housing, groceries, & healthcare?
What percent of the population do you think trans people make up?
apparently the average polled american thinks it's 20%
I think you know the answer to that
Yet another page right out of Hitler's playbook.
How did the "Don't say gay" plan work out for you in the past?
No more transitive verbs or translated texts. No more transportation networks or radio transmitters. Don't even talk to me about the crossbeam between the door and the window above it. And if you mention transfer students you're getting suspended!

“Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" .... Maybe the GOP should stop being pedos instead.
Sorry kid, your Optimus Prime backpack is banned. Automotive class is also canceled because we can’t discuss changing gears. History class will not be discussing what was completed at on May 10, 1869 at Promontory Summit, Utah. Those of you who have completed driver’s ed can pick up your licenses at the Department of Portation.
I fucking hate these people.

My people are once again a political scapegoat.
Followed tightly by the "don't say Epstein" bill.
From now on all instances of "Epstein" will be replaced with "just some guy, not important really" in all government documents.
Release the just some guy, not important list!
