Many of the groups affected by the issues we discuss struggle to find support. Whether you're a CSA survivor, a MAP, someone who encountered illegal content, or an artist who's rights are being infringed, our Get Help page has resources for you. https://buff.ly/2UWBJOJ
It can be easy to fall for misinformation, especially when controversial topics like evidence-based abuse prevention are involved. If you think you may have been misled about Prostasia, check out our supplemental FAQ. https://buff.ly/3C2c4qF
Did you know? Prostasia is one of the few organizations taking an evidence-based approach to preventing the spread of CSAM. You can learn about our deterrence project, which has redirected over 200,000 away from abusive content, at the link below. https://buff.ly/3EwS8ks
A recent study finds that CP/CSEM victimisation as a child can lead to anxiety, suicidal thoughts and relationship problems in adult life, but that those who view such material don't often escalate to contact abuse. https://buff.ly/3EKKW2Q

I NEED you to know that the most banned book in the U.S. was written by an asexual, nonbinary author and bigots are calling it grooming and pornography. https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1611106517612171264
We are going to see more and more of this. #BanFacialRecognition globally. https://www.wired.com/story/iran-says-face-recognition-will-id-women-breaking-hijab-laws/

"Banning books such as Gender Queer is not only a restriction of the freedom of expression, but also a harmful message to youth everywhere..."
A high school junior wrote this succinct and powerful letter to the editor about the real harm of book bans.
A recent tweet of ours in support of the trans community was mischaracterized and has been deleted to avoid confusion. Prostasia stands behind trans people in their fight for equal rights and has lobbied against transphobic laws in several states. https://prostasia.org/anti-trans-laws/
Getting real tired of seeing members of marginalized groups oppose prevention efforts in the hopes of gaining some morsel of acceptance from bigots. They're never going to support you, and all you're doing is impeding the work of people who want to prevent abuse. It's zero reward for a massive downside.
Our first new member for 2023 just joined. You too can support the gutsiest prevention-focused child protection and human rights organization that ever existed - from just $5 per month. https://buff.ly/2CnU7Hb
Fearmongering about "normalization" preys on the misconception that abnormality is what makes child sexual abuse wrong. In reality, CSA is bad because it harms children, causes trauma, and reflects a violation of boundaries.
This is important because this fearmongering is often used to justify spreading misinformation, which actually harms prevention efforts and can lead to higher rates of CSA.
@DrGTenbergen This showed up in my feed yesterday. Seemed relevant.

A trans woman in Texas was harassed for being trans; she filled a police report and was then arrested for “filing a false report” and “being a man in a dress”. Violence against trans people is escalating and becoming a more direct goal of the state. https://www.liberationnews.org/trans-woman-arrested-accused-of-being-man-in-dress-by-texas-police/
