If you wouldn't want your neighbor watching how your kid uses the internet through their window, then you should oppose "child protection" bills that would give the government expanded surveillance powers. Surveillance is always creepy--including when the government does it.

Gender-affirming treatments save lives. Politicians who deny trans people, including trans youth, access to healthcare have blood on their hands.

Protecting children means protecting marginalized children from bigotry and oppression. That's why the Prostasia Foundation has always stood behind trans and other queer people in their fight for acceptance and legal protections, and why we always will.

No matter the situation, adults have the responsibility to avoid putting children in situations that carry a high risk of harm. No child is ever at fault for their abuse.

Your regular reminder that many abuse survivors have coping mechanisms that put them at odds with the mainstream. These can range from an interest in fictional content depicting abuse to violent fantasies and kinks. "Bad survivors" still deserve support.
