"Our social media team also highlighted some particularly egregious examples of misdirected accusations of 'grooming' this year, including attacks against therapist Miranda Galbreath, and against LGBTQ+ orgs such as @Mermaids_Gender and the @TrevorProject" https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

Anti-prevention commentators are continuing to attack child protection experts, this time directly conflating efforts to spread accurate information about pedophilia, which can be used to guide prevention work, with "normalization."

"Now that the alt-right's 'groomer' campaign has become better understood for what it is, and as Prostasia Foundation prepares to introduce its new Executive Director for 2023, the time is right for us to return to the field of political advocacy." https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

"We also completely revamped our online deterrence campaign in 2022. This program now includes a new series of ads aimed at helping people who encounter illegal content by accident to report it to law enforcement." https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

"a major challenge during 2022 was the increasing misuse of the term “grooming” to justify violent rhetorical and physical attacks on marginalized LGBTQ+ communities, sex educators, sex workers, and even CSA prevention researchers and clinicians." https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

Masturbation is normal for children and adults alike. Shaming or denying child sexuality does not help stop abuse, it just makes children feel bad for something natural.

When conservative anti porn lobbyists encourage financial discrimination against porn & sex workers, they aren’t “rescuing” anyone. They’re pushing vulnerable people into even more precarious economic situations. It ruins lives.

"Fantasy has been widely acknowledged for its therapeutic benefits by mental health professionals for some time now. Naturally, it can initially be very painful to revisit these traumatic memories through fantasy." https://buff.ly/3GRBsoo

"So whether you enjoy fantasy to help in overcoming trauma or as an outlet for your sexuality, do so with the peace of mind knowing what you’re enjoying is a harmless human instinct. And you aren’t alone." https://buff.ly/3GRBsoo

"In a fictional space we are free to explore and express even our most stigmatized feelings of attraction, romance, and arousal. All without the anxiety that we might be putting ourselves or anyone else in harm’s way." https://buff.ly/3GRBsoo

"Something seen within nearly every human culture across human history is the expression of our taboo sexual fantasies through fiction, art and music." https://buff.ly/3GRBsoo

OMG.

Going to Family Court? Worried CPS could TAKE YOUR KIDS? The Supreme Court ruled you have no constitutional right to counsel, because you are not at risk of losing your liberty by going to jail.

No lawyer for you! Say goodbye to your kids!

The US child welfare system punishes parents for poverty by taking their children away.

Parents need support to help provide for their families, but what they are getting is surveillance, regulation, and punishment.

Taking out insurance to pay off victims is not a solution to child sexual abuse.
