Why are Republicans so obsessed with children’s bodies? Is that why they keep attacking trans rights? They’re obsessed with children’s genitals and made up a crisis by scapegoating people who just want privacy and healthcare?

We should be leading every trans rights defense by accusing Republicans of being obsessed with children’s genitals and protecting child sex traffickers.

Why are Republicans so obsessed with children’s bodies?

I mean, their ideology encourages them to specifically target young girls. No shade to you or anyone else, but I don't know why people aren't connecting the dots here.

Their ideology fetishizes 'pure', young, virgin girls. One of their talking heads said something like 16 is too old. If you read between the lines of their manosphere bs the ultimate 'prize' is essentially a girl barely out of school who they can groom into being a shy, submissive, breeder until they get bored with her and kick her out for a younger model. Rinse and repeat.

It's why they awkwardly shuffle their feet in silence when yet another Republican gets busted for diddling a kid and in large part why they're shrugging over the idea Trump might have too. They don't see it as a bad thing if a grown-ass man raped a girl 1, 2, 3 years under the age of consent because their ideology has been telling them for years that's a good thing.

Yeah, another reminder that one of the no-brainer moral axioms that the Bible doesn't address at all is that it's profoundly unethical to sexually exploit children.
