the "stranger" / "sexual predator" figure more broadly exists to fuel conservative panic towards "empowering parents" when the overwhelming majority of reported sexual abuse of children is enacted by the parents themselves, followed by other family members (which is a severe underestimate, itself)

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...

This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.

A friend moved to a new state for a job and was laid off after just three months. He's had a hard time of things for the last few years—please help me raise funds to help him through an extremely bad time. 📚 www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...
