"Extremely dangerous how "grooming" in the context of child sexual #abuse went from being a very specific pattern of isolation and trust-building with the aim of #abusing#someone to "telling #children anything that contradicts their #parents' ultra-conservative #worldview is #grooming" to "selling rainbow flags in a store is grooming" to "literally #anyone I don't like is a #groomer".
These days the #word seems to most often be used by #people who don't care about what it actually means and just want an easy "this person is irredeemably evil, kill them now" button."
"Only Real Men can be anticapitalist. Real Women need capitalism for the makeup and clothing they require to be a Real Woman, and therefore can't fight the system"
"To all the #LGBTqia+ #people who insisted #cops at #Pride are a great thing "for our #protection" and deserve to march and have floats in the #parade despite the people of color in our #community and older #queers in our community talking about police brutality then and now:
Who do you think is going to enforce all the #antitrans and queer #laws that are sweeping the #country?"
@LGmedia "There are attempts to make sex crimes against children punishable by death and also to make existing as a transgender person a sex crime against children.
In other words, they're trying to make being transgender punishable by death.
And if that passes, who enforces it? The police do.
The police are a direct threat to LGBT people's lives.
It's impossible to be an ally to LGBT people if you support the police.
Police are not welcome at pride. Even if they're LGBT. Even if they're not in uniform."
