The way y'all scream "we get called pedophiles by cishets it's not fair!" but then mimic that and say EVERYTHING we queer people like is pedophilic means /YOU/ are aiding into the belief that we are all pedophiles. YOU are doing that. Not homophobic cishets but YOU.

You said leather daddies at pride were pedophiles. You said queer CSA victims were pedophiles. You said us queers who call our lovers like family were pedophiles. You said us queers with age gaps are pedophiles. YOU SAID IT. Not the cishets. Y O U !

Now twinks are pedophile bait. And so are lolita dress players. You called bears and studs fucking predators. You are the ones fucking hurting the community. You think homophobes are gonna see you and clap? No, they take your rhetoric and run with it. "Even the gays think so!"

You can't be hairless. You can't be short. You can't have big eyes. You can't have a soft voice. Being flat-chested means pedophiles want to fuck you. If you are caught wearing a big baby blue sweater you're a fucking freak, apparently.

People are still hung for being fucking queer. People are still shunned from their homes for love notes that were found under the bed. The AIDS crisis wasnt THAT LONG AGO. You have BIGGER issues than whatever pedophile fear mongering you let be instilled in the back of your head.

I don't want to hear from teens who just got out of the closet. We know what it is like to feel ashamed for how you were born. Flinging that shame like it's dirty laundry that we have to wash for you isn't going to make it go away. Siding with the oppressor won't make it go away.

We are victims of a system. Carrying those stereotypes deep down instead as a weapon against things you don't like or CANNOT fit into will not help you in the long run. Because outside of Twitter, the rest of us will shun you. Because we do NOT NEED that stress and bullshit.

Someone hurt you when you were younger. You were teased in school. Your parents didn't fucking love you. You were sad and alone and different. I'm so fucking sorry for whatever happened to you. But it happened to alot of us too. Stop pointing fingers and sit down.
