I can't really screenshot the entire article but the jist is that parents are running Instagram accounts trying to turn their young daughters into "influencers/models" and pedos are throwing money at them for CP. so personally, I don't see this as Meta's responsibility - shitty parents chose to turn their babies into pedo bait and then act shocked that they've attracted a following of pedos 🤨 do platforms have an obligation to enforce good parenting?
this is fucking stupid, we teach kids about gender identity when they're in fucking diapers, it's just under the assumption they're CISgender. the instant you start talking about boys & girls, you're teaching kids about gender identity. I taught my kids about trans people when they were in kindergarten, and it was like one sentence: "some boys are born in girl bodies and some girls are born in boy bodies, but it's who they are inside that matters." easy peasy.
this makes me so mad because it's so fucking hetero-cis-normative. why is it acceptable to teach little kids about straight relationships and cisgender identities but not anybody else? we don't say it's inappropriate to tell kids about a man and a woman getting married but somehow it's too mature to say 2 men are getting married? we can tell a kid with a penis "you're a boy" but not "maybe you actually feel more like a girl"? if kids can handle the cishet norm they can handle LGBT identities.
CROWN law: you can't punish Black kids for ethnic hairstyles
School: cut your locs or you're suspended

@dietotaku Texas has officially put racism back on the books. Nice state you have there Texass.... 🤬
probably because economists are measuring it on stock prices and unemployment while voters are measuring it on "how much of my paycheck is going to rent?" and every time we manage to get a pay raise you fuckers are like "NOPE TIME FOR INFLATION AND RATE HIKES FUCK YOU FOR TRYING TO HAVE MONEY"
