As so many people have warned and predicted for so long, transphobic activists are making the incredibly short journey from spreading fear and suspicion about trans people to spreading fear and suspicion about gay people. We TOLD you this was going to happen.
For what it’s worth, yes I knew I was gay far, far younger than 12, but some people figure it out much later. The point is showing kids positive examples of queer people, and telling them that being queer is okay, is only a bad thing if you believe being queer is a bad thing.
If you truly believe nobody under the age of 18 is old enough to think about their sexuality or gender, we need to redesign the entire world. Heterosexuality (to be straight) and cisgenderism (to be not trans) are *THEMSELVES* notions of identity kids are utterly surrounded by.
But I don’t think anyone really believes that, since nobody seems worried that kids are too young to decide they’re straight.
