I also had a deep fear of rape and involuntary pregnancy as a child/teen. Gender ideology completely whitewashes how complex a young person's relationship to their body actually is.

I'm especially appalled by the notion that puberty is optional, or should be something that requires consent. This pushes the onus back onto the child to accept the 'responsibility' of puberty, particularly the sexual objectification that girls are subjected to.
