There are those who want to take all the people in the non-straight and non-cis categories and automatically put them in the pedophile and groomer categories. That's category conflation, it's false, and it's rooted in bigotry, no matter what its advocates claim. 2/2
@SteveCarll67 it's rooted in the age-old idea that homosexuality is degeneracy, therefore homosexuals participate in every other type of degeneracy.
The term suggests racial impurity, mental illness, and moral decline. Depravity. The Nazis used this term to destroy tens of thousands of art pieces, as well as .. millions of people.
It's all Classification, Dehumanization, Polarization, and Persecution.

If you want to thread (🧵), you can just reply to your own post, it'll auto-link the replies to your OP. It'll all be together instead of split into separate posts.
Also, lot of pply may want to see your thots on a given topic, so it's useful to use hashtags. For example, here you could have used something like #Gender, #Bigotry, #LGBTQ, or so on. You don't need to use lots of them, but they help ppl opt in (or out) of the content based on topic.
But do you.
