remember that these people oppose trans healthcare for children because giving children agency over their bodies makes it harder for them to get away with preying on them and they see themselves entitled to sexually abusing children

they don't want to teach children anything about sex or gender because doing so gives them the vocabulary to protest their abuse, and they believe they have sexual rights over children

people who are transphobic about children are exercising a right they think they have to deny children agency over their bodies. this is inherently sexually abusive and it is done broadly at an institutional level.

it is never surprising when people who advocate for that abuse are sexually abusive in other ways

abuse is an inherent part of the social structure of american christian authoritarianism. people who operate within its framework are always acting to preserve their power to abuse. if they are not themselves fucking children they are preserving their privilege to do so and protecting people who do

the reason they oppose gender treatment for children is that they want children vulnerable, miserable, easy prey. this is also why they oppose giving them vaccines, educating them, and letting them have abortions. children are a natural underclass who they want to be able to harm at will
