    I’m like 90% sure it’s not true. Right wingers love to accuse LGBTQ+ people of being pedophiles because they’re intolerant little cunts. LGBTQ+ people can of course be pedophiles, but it’s no more likely than cishet people being pedophiles.

      Problem is that trans people have been around non-western cultures for several millenia and are either tolerated or abused. But it has always been that trans was not treated as a problem in most of those societies that had them.

      If PDF files / pedo-philes are using the trans “identity” as a sword and shield, it is ABSOLUTELY a BIG PROBLEM. Trans people should vehemently ban and completely villify these abhorrent criminal kiddie-diddlers for what they are.

      Right-wing Nazis will use these and anything else as an excuse to go after the community supporting or hiding criminals. DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

      If you wish for a latest and greatest example of people abusing “identities” … #MeToo failed due to excessive AmberTurd, AnitaSNarkeesian, ZoeDQuinn publicity while mainstream media failed spectacularly. Most recently, DEIDIEESG and BRIDGE are also going to become like this and are well on their way to getting buried. DO NOT BECOME THESE KIND OF EXAMPLES. Elevate yourselves and keep the Criminals OUT.

        I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say. LGBTQ+ people are at far higher risk of being the target of sexual abuse rather than the perpetrators. Why do you think they’d be any more willing of defending that abuse than any other group?

        The police are the group most likely to defend abuse. Why aren’t they being targeted for being groomers?

        Your comment, as far as I can understand it, is basically victim blaming LGBTQ+ people for being harassed by the right wing bigots. They’re not calling LGBTQ+ people groomers because they’ve got a genuine concern. They do it because they want to undertake genocide against LGBTQ+ people.

          wow! somehow you came to the conclusion that I am victim-blaming ? :-/

          the perpetrators are the ones who are going to victimize the groups who cant defend themselves.

          Be prepared for all sorts of predators, pedo-philes, serial killers to start their closet journey and they will claim victimhood better than most normal people.

          Police will defend their own people even if police commit the crime.

          Right-wingers will claim special providence when their people commit the crime.

          Criminals will claim to be part of a vulnerable group just so they can commit the crime.

          Make up your own mind and judgement what is the safest choices.

          Do not become victims of criminals.

          Be Safe and Carry on living peacefully.

            Since when has being the member of a minority group made it easier for you to get away with committing a crime? Minorities have always been persecuted more severely and more often for crimes than the majority.

            Your comment is like saying that native-born people would pretend to be immigrants to get away with crimes. It doesn’t make any sense. How would that help them?

            Nobody is interested in defending people who are criminals. There should be a burden of proof required for minorities just as there is for non-minorities. The reality we have is that minorities don’t get the benefit of the doubt that non-minorities do, so, if anything, it’s harder for criminals from a minority group to get away with things.

            So yeah, you kind of are victim blaming, I think. LGBTQ+ are the victims of a right-wing hate campaign that labels them as groomers, so when people just assume that accusations are baseless, you’re saying that’s LGBTQ+ people’s responsibility. No, the responsibility is with the hate mob.
