real, actual discourse from exclusionists right now: ‘children starting puberty shouldn’t be taught what a period is and any sex ed before the age of 15 is bad’

like….. how do they go around saying ace people all hate DIRTY ALLO SEX HAVERS and then pull this shit

“That cannot possibly be true,” I said to myself, unwilling to believe that they would stoop so low. “There’s no way that’s a real thing.”

It is indeed a true and real thing currently being said.

I know all REGs are the same, but sometimes I forget how prominent REGs are in every arena.

If your arguments for the protection of children’s health have been debunked a thousand times over by every medical, psychological and public safety group since the fifties, then you are full of shit and need to stop.
