"An Illinois school for students with disabilities has routinely used the police to handle discipline, resulting in the highest arrest rate of any district in the country. In one recent year, half of Garrison School students were arrested." https://www.propublica.org/article/students-police-arrests-illinois-garrison-school

Contrary to this story, the term MAP does not normalize child abuse. It clarifies the important distinction between child abuse as an action, and pedophilia as an attraction – and that they don't always go together. See our FAQ: https://prostasia.org/faq

It’s not a joke what Andrew Tate was doing. It’s disgusting and the literal definition of human trafficking.

Hitting a child on the butt can trigger INVOLUNTARY sexual arousal. The child is unaware because their mind is too busy registering the pain to acknowledge the arousal. You're not just hitting muscle & fat. There's key veins and arteries in the rectum, uterus, vagina, and penis.

"Indeed in 2019, Britain’s National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) chose to purge itself of its LGBTQ+ representatives rather than showing solidarity with them in the face of anti-LGBTQ+ smears against the organization." https://buff.ly/3v8w0qE

Science says that "destigmatizing pedophilia", aka "improve the psychological well-being of people with pedophilic sexual interests", can help prevent sexual abuse. https://buff.ly/3PXDVk6

LGBTQ people are "just evil people and they're out to groom kids." This kind of language is used by every hate-mongering group seeking to eradicate the "other." First, label them evil, then subhuman. It leads to harassment, violence and death. The end goal is extermination... https://twitter.com/Esqueer_/status/1607741993089892353

"The problem of closed social media spaces becoming breeding grounds for illegal or violative activity is not unique to TikTok; groups enabling child predation have also been found on Facebook, for example." https://buff.ly/3tAwBkf

“The attack on porn and sex workers is intimately connected to the attacks on drag, trans healthcare, reproductive rights, book bans and digital privacy. IODA (the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act) is one part of a larger movement to push sex and gender back in the closet.”

this is literally what apple's app store stuff is pushing, because they classify all LGBTQ content as adult content, which is why we asked you to stop pushing pressure through the app store. apple is just as conservative as disney, probably more so actually https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1602398750504325130
