if you think fuckin 11 year olds can be asexual ur super gross please don’t talk to me bye
stop sexualizing an orientation
ncdmsjdj it literally has to do with sexual attraction what are you talking about
fjskgjskg stop sexualizing an orientation
i started experiencing sexual attraction when i was 9 years old
it’s fuckin harmful to kids to perpetuate the idea that they shouldn’t be experiencing these feelings at that age because then they feel disgusting and try to repress it
if you were experiencing sexual attraction at 9 that’s a bad sign and u should talk to someone. and what are you saying we should tell kids they will experience sexually attraction at fucking 9 because that allows pedophiles to groom them lmao
don’t fucking try to imply i was abused. don’t you fucking dare. i wasn’t. and i know many others that experienced sexual attraction at the same age.
guess what ANYTHING can be used to groom someone. it doesn’t make it inherently bad.
ok well then u just went thru puberty very early,, most ppl won’t experience sexual attraction at that age.
and oh my fucking god you sound like the people who defend fictional child porn. shut the fuck up teaching kids that they can/should experience sexual attraction leads to them thinking sexual behaviour is normal at their age which allows pedophiles to groom them
by saying “these things can be used to groom ppl so we should ban it” is absolving the responsibility of abusers. teaching kids about sexuality isn’t going to be why someone abuses. they abuse because they want to and they will use it with anything, including religion. should we ban religions too?
teaching kids about sex and sexuality is actually smarter; when we teach sex ed they would be able to identify what sexual abuse is and will tell someone instead of bottling it up because they don’t know better.
i’m leaving it at that because i’m still shaking from you implying that i was sexually abused because you obviously can’t think critically that experiences aren’t fucking universal
REGs: Asexuality is just about sexual attraction! Stop teaching it to kids!
Decent people: So queerness is not inherently about sex and sexual attraction?
REGs: Right! Of course not! Stop sexualizing gayness, you filthy aceys!
Decent people: So you’ll accept and protect queer people who don’t experience sexual attraction?
REGs: Uhh… umm…(Also, just a hint: Healthy sexual education teaches kids what consent looks like and how to recognize abusive and grooming tactics. It makes kids safer. But, uhh, thanks for admitting that you want more kids to be abused, @discoursecherry. This CSA victim really appreciates that.)
It still really fucking bothers me that REGs keep denying reality and every fucking fact of normal child development to serve their own narrative. You’ve made up these standards of purity for what Things Should Be Like, and telling people that don’t fit in with it that there’s something wrong with them is simply disgusting.
Age appropriate sex education is ALWAYS going to be better than ignorance. Promoting anything else doesn’t protect children, it protects you from having to deal with an extremely complex and nuanced topic, at their expense.
This shit really illustrates quite well the reactionary and really ultimately conservative nature of REGs (Reactionary Exclusionist Gatekeepers).
Giving kids access to information about sexual orientations means exposing them to pedophiles? Tell me that doesn’t sound like an argument that comes right from the mouth of run of the mill Republican clutching their pearls about ‘gays recruiting in schools’.
holy shit kids should be taught about sex but not that THEY WILL FEEL SEXUAL FEELINGS AT 9 LMAO
You seem to be stuck in a mindset where the physical realities of children must allign with your idea of what is moral so you are gonna hate to hear that according to science:
1. Many children of ALL ages like to masturbate

3. Oh, and just for the fun of it, did you know some studies suggest that even fetuses masturbate and orgasm?

Sexual feelings in the widest sense of the word are an all-ages sort of thing whether you like it or not. Many children experience sexual feelings long before anyone would be okay with them having actual sex. It may make you uncomfortable but it’s a well documented fact.
If you actually care about children, you’d do well to just face that fact so that if you ever have a position of authority over a child you can help them understand what they’re experiencing, what are normal ways for children to deal with those feelings, what consent is like and what is NOT normal for adults to do with children.
Or you could stick your fingers in your ears and go ‘LALALALA, NO ONE FEELS AROUSAL BEFORE I AM COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA THAT THEY DO AND ANYONE WHO DISAGREES IS A PEDO’. Good luck with that.
