What benefit does it do either party for under 16s to have direct interactions with random adults in their 30s/40s+?

For one example, if they’re trans and find info about diy HRT younger than they would have otherwise and are spared years of irreversible changes and dysphoria.

Or, you know, just that they’re people who should have a voice and ears and not be barred from the wider societal conversation from everything about TV shows to national politics to educational policies, that they should have a voice in, and are indeed pubescent and more mature than actual children at thinking.

To engage with other people, practicising their online interaction skills, as they’re not going to suddenly be magically more able to resist disinformation and stuff at 16 because of a few months of brain development, the more important thing is practice and being exposed to online content.

I didn’t say I was 15, just to not be ageist to 15 year olds

ah, literal child girl vs adult woman girl

Ageist

A 15 year old isn’t a child.

Trans kids are hurt by measures that block them from finding community and help online that are blocked irl for them.

A 15 year old isn’t a child.

Can’t you just write it in your resume though? The fact that a new bachelor exists didn’t mean you didn’t spend 3-4 years of your life on that one…

wdym, obsolete?

“Child safety”, more like

It doesn’t actually protect children to more stringently enforce them being their parents property and not having easy access to online information, eg about LGBT+ people

Privileged? You have to be a certain kind to person (ie, not marginalised) to be able to ignore politics

😭

It’s a long way, to go…

It’s a… It’s a… It’s a…

Why would the blood purists care about their child’s gender? They care about blood purity, not if someone’s LGBT+

Cooked pasta with tomato sauce for the glory of the empire!

That’s how they’re treated, yeah. They shouldn’t be.

And it’s a problem nobody cares about, because if you’re a kid, no one listens to you because you’re subhuman and beneath consideration, and if as an adult you support kids being people, you’re accused of being a pedophile.

Reddit is bad, but they are correct here in a sort of broken clock way, internet censorship is really bad

tbh that’s part of what makes Reddit bad, their information being all locked away

Or take finasteride, it’s a DHT blocker which prevents male pattern baldness

And then they all started moving…

I mean I started passing after only like a year of e and voice training tbf, even tho I was very suspicious of it
