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.
I need you all who see this post to go into the notes, read the responses, and see how this is not an isolated experience. Quite the opposite actually.
You have to listen to victims.
My dad didn’t make sexual comments about my body throughout my prepubescent, preteen, and teen years because he was attracted to me, he did so because he felt he owned me and my body. It’s why he was so rancidly against my transition, because I would be taking control of my body away from him. And yet, even after all this and all the ways he sexually abused me, I don’t want him dead. Sure, I’ve come to hate him, but he’s still my fucking dad. He was not attracted to me. He had power over me, that is why I was abused, and that is why I hate him.
So, in summary and as has already been said, “You can sit with that dream of wanting to kill every ‘pedophile’, 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.“
this is a message to all babytrans. you may come across a subreddit or maybe even a 4chan board that is made up entirely of the most miserable trans people you’ve ever met. they have their own lingo borrowed straight from incel communities. but instead of being an incel where cishet men tell each other that women will never want to fuck them because of 2 mm of browbone, it’s trans women telling each other that they will never be a woman because of 2 mm of browbone. it’s trans men calling other trans men pooners for having a round face instead of a chiseled gigachad jawline. but they swear it’s not a toxic community because they’re all hiding under several layers of irony, so you can never really tell if someone is being serious. and it’s very important that you never visit these forums, even out of morbid curiosity
since this post is making rounds i feel like resharing this for no reason in particular
This reminds me of hit story “Ranked Competitive Breast Growth” about a ton of weird ass internet poisoned trans women and (maybe????) A few gay guys all pretending to be totally cis men to compete in breast growth competitions for a million dollars.
Coincidentally, the girl who drew that comic also created RCBG
