We kinda do need these articles. These people push a narrative that they’re just “concerned about the children” and trying to save them from “groomers” (ie anyone who allows them the freedom and agency to figure themselves out and express themselves).

Sincerely thanks for the clarification! I definitely hadn’t thought about it that way
