I totally believe that, because that's what they also say openly on Twitter, although coated in nicer language sometimes. Rejecting trans people (transwomen, let's be honest here) is oppressive and therefore unacceptable. Men have never dealt well with rejection and that's something society should start taking seriously. You know, instead of sex education, where teenagers have to learn about blowjobs, kinks and anal sex, schools should keep it to basics, when it comes to sex and dedicate more time to protection, contraception AND detecting predatory behavior. Young people should learn how to detect and deflect coercive arguments and also how to deal with rejection, particularly young men.

By the way, Benji is freaking awesome ❤️️

detecting predatory behavior

This! I'm not sure if it would work were it combined with sex ed - teens might think it's just clueless adults trying to "erase" their transfeelings. I'm no teacher, I don't have kids - so I'm not sure what would be the best way to go at it.

All kinds of predatory behaviour and grooming happens on the internet though: I think it would be crucial to start teaching kids early on how to recognize these people for who they are, and to tell their parents instantly if they detect any abnormal/uncomfortable advances - especially so if it has to do with sexuality.
