i don’t understand the “ruining their innocence” claim. im an afab person born and raised in ontario. we had very middle of the road sex ed and my school didn’t have any until grade 6. i got my first period in grade 5 (a year before we started sex ed, which parents were able to opt out of for their children). my mom was raised in a household where they never discussed topics like periods and she was away for a business trip. my dad was one of two brothers and i doubt he fully understood what a period was or how to explain it to an 11 year old child. i thought i was dying. it was such a traumatic experience that i can remember every detail of it nine years later. what do conservatives think is going to ruin a child’s innocence more? learning about something they’ll find out about eventually on their own, or having a terrifying experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life?

Where I live, the city's solution for the homeless "problem" is to build fences in green spaces, however this didn't deter homeless people from simply chilling OUTSIDE the fences. It's just theatre, pretending to do something. I think people's reluctance to help homeless people is because it completely contradicts values established in our Neo-Liberal culture, i.e. how we prioritize property owership. In my opinion, we should just bring back shanty towns, since home affordablity, let alone paying rent, is already starting to become an impossiblity. If we're set on dling nothing, we should at least give people that.

[@crystlelakefarm1254]

And get them the mental health care they need, I believe that would also help those who are homeless

[@Eudaletism]

One thing we should do is make land (and other natural resources) into a shared property, a birthright ownership. It works as follows: everyone pays rent proportional to the land they use, which funds a UBI, so everyone also receives rent back. If you use exactly your fair share (total value of all the land divided by population) then you break even. If you use more, you end up paying in for your excess, and if you use less, you end up with net income. This would end landsquatting, eliminate slums and other inefficient land use, nearly eliminate homelessness, encourage efficient development and a bunch of other positive things. It's called georgism; economists love it, and both left and right libertarians like it. Add to that an externalities tax (since if you pollute the environment, you should have to pay everyone who uses the environment for the damage), end corporate subsidies, etc.

The issue with this is the rhetoric is designed to force accountability onto the individual for their own moral agenda. Those against abortion or sex education don't necesarily care if it doesn't reduce abortions or teenage sex. At that point, it's a moral failing of the individual. The argument instead needs to be made not about how to reduce abortions or teenage sex (which either aren't necessarily a problem but I digress) but discussing why these behaviors are stigmatized in the first place.

[@Fairskinnedprincess]

So now, if im getting this correctly, if a kid at the playground comes up to me and asks me “why are you kissing a Girl?” Or “whats that flag on Your phone?” Im commiting a crime if i say “oh, im a lesbian.” Or “oh, that flag is an agender one and this one is a lesbian one. And this one is a gay one.”

[@Fairskinnedprincess]

If i, in the future anyway, Pick up my Child at School with my girlfriend. And kids at that School ask why my kid has two parents who at least appear to be the same gender. Would i be actually committing a crime just for saying. “Oh, im a lesbian. And im not exactly a girl, im agender even though i look feminine and use she/her pronouns.” Am i seriously a criminal for just teaching kids about stuff that happens in life? My gender isnt sexual. My lesbianity isnt sexual. If it was, it would be the same for straight People. But then why are there advertisments, cartoons, movies, TV shows, etc. All Aimed at kids have straight people in Them? Because it is literally the same thing different day.

To those who refuse to get involved in the ongoing political discussions surrounding the existence of LGBTQ+ folks because "it doesn't affect me": It doesn't affect *me...* until it does. I have LGBTQ+ friends - they're affected, and that affects me. There's a notable overlap between the autistic community and the LGBTQ+ community, and that might be enough for someone to take offence to me existing in their vicinity. It's possible that someone may think I'm not gender-conforming enough to be a "real" man (I'm teetotal and have zero interest in sports), and that that entitles them to commit violence against me. Anyone who doesn't think it affects them, because they're not LGBTQ+, hasn't considered the ramifications of bigotry like this being mainstreamed. It forces people into ever-more-tightly-defined molds that push them away from exploring who they are and what they enjoy. It progressively destroys the ability for disabled folks to engage with the world in a way that actually lets them thrive (after all, the "stay-at-home wife" is a long-standing tradition, but the "stay-at-home-husband" is a much more recent trend - if the man in a heteroseual couple has, for instance, narcolepsy, he's going to struggle with driving, much less putting eight hours of work in per day). And, yes, it forces LGBTQ+ folks to hide who they are, for fear of discrimination, violence and murder, which removes vital diversity in expressed opinions and perspectives.

if im completely honest i learned absolutely nothing about my body from school or my family. heck i didn't even know what le big O was until i unintentionally had my first then secretly researched it to learn what it was because i was (and honestly still am) terrified of talking to my parents about anything that is actually important (like genuine concerns about my body, being transgender, nonbinary, lesbian or maybe bi idk yet, having different beliefs than they do, etc. etc. you can probably guess what my parents are lol) because they are (to put it as lightly as i can) bigots. ive already gone no contact with my mom and for some reason my dad thinks im going to someday reconnect (to be clear i absolutely don't want to reconnect) and plan to eventually go no contact with my dad but he is less bad than my mom so there's that i guess. sorry this was kinda a rant, anyways thx for reading🏳️‍⚧️🌺🏳️‍🌈

I think something important we all need to recognize is the Right is NEVER honest about their intended outcomes. The legislation they choose to pursue ALWAYS comes from an intent to harm someone, and that should not be allowed in a modern society. The more we pretend they are just inept policymakers with outdated ideals, and not the draconian and hate fueled politicians that they are, the more they will get away with it under the pretext 'It's just for the kids, bro!' There is no facet of our nation they will not destroy to forward their fear machine. None.

@@G36C-556 The reason propaganda works is because it calls upon invoking powerful mental imagery. I don't have any mental visualization. It's like yelling at a deaf person, I just don't 'see' it. There was a study done a few years ago about shocking mental imagery derived from descriptive paragraphs and the results is that non-agnosia participants registered activity in the visual cortex, and agnosia sufferers did not, or did to a vastly damped degree. The same portion of the visual cortex acted on by propaganda.

13:15- so real? my mom didn't have sex ed and frankly her mom didnt want a girl. When she got her first period, she went to her mom sobbing, thinking she was dying. I had a sex ed module in the fourth grade, which explained puberty/periods, and was just like "oh i guess this is a period. thats why my tummy hurts :/" when i got it a year later. She was shocked when i was like 'mom im on my period do we have pads" instead of freaking tf out. frankly though that 4th grade is a bit late, i had a friend who's mom was ...emotionally distant... and she started going through puberty in the 3rd grade, before any sex ed. she didn't even get the emotional support after that traumatic realization.

I grew up in Florida and the teachers weren’t allowed to discuss religion with us either. Specifically, in elementary, remember the class talking about church, and some kid asked the teacher about it and she was like “I can’t talk about that with you guys. You guys can talk about it with each other but I can’t.” And we thought that was dumb as kids but it kind of makes sense, since the teacher across the hall was a religious zealot and wouldn’t let her kids say “oh my god,” or “retarded” in her class. She’d probably have Bible story time too if the state of Florida didn’t stop her from that 😂

A lot of my friends probably don't even know I'm conservative because of my social beliefs.
