I agree. Part of child protection training that is hammered home quite heavily, or was when I last had the “full monty” training and not just a refresher session, is that sexual abusers will go to absolutely ludicrous lengths to get access to children or vulnerable people. Now, I don’t think adults should be subject to the kinds of protections that we have in place for children and the vulnerable, but surely it is only sensible that we don’t create massive blind spots in our guards, no?

I think the effort that is put in to deflect any attempt to bring reason or reality into the situation is fairly telling, and that outside of the actual gender dysphoric individuals (who are suffering actual delusions), they all know that this is make-believe, every single person, and they cannot tolerate the little boy pointing and laughing at the Emperor, because it brings the whole house of cards down. Why they’re doing it probably varies, fetish, power over others, influence, money…but they all fucking know.

I used to work for a children's charity where I was responsible for assessing and training volunteers, in non-child contact roles. Part of my training was learning that we had to do full background checks on all volunteers, even if they never came near children because in the past there had been cases of men who had volunteered in the most menial roles for years/decades built trust and eventually accessed vulnerable children who they went on to abuse. Years of literally dealing with rubbish so they could eventually, possibly get access to victims. There is very little predators won't do to abuse. They will play a long game that most people can't naturally quite get their head around.

So as a society we have had to learn and understand what they will do. We have had to put in so many safeguards, especially for children. And right as we've just started learning that and making our children safer than they have ever been. Our society collectively takes leave of it's senses and creates a sacred caste that can do anything unquestioned because they are the biggest victims of all and no-one would ever pretend to be one, for even just a few minutes, to access victims. It's fucking mind-boggling how stupid this is.

There was a researcher, who I believe works at Staffordshire University as a professor of criminology. He used to interview sex offenders as part of his research and his one main takeaway from it, was that predators will lie to your face without blinking

Yes, I know being in contact with children violates my parole, but I needed to take that job working at a kid's birthday party

You see, the thing is I'm a Buddhist and visiting Cambodia is a religious journey for me
