    Operative word being “sexualized”. Teaching children about sex is “sexualization” to DeSantis. Helping kids understand how they feel is sexualization to DeSantis.

    This meme is word games.

    Real sexualization is beauty pagents and Hooters/Twin Peaks and taking your kids to get traumatized at church. These aren’t word games. But I haven’t heard DeSantis say anything about that.

      Fair. But you basing that off the language in the meme or the actual bill? This is just a repost so whatever whoever made it typed is what we get.

      Either way, I agree with the sentiment that it doesn’t need to be taught at all in elementary or middle schools. And especially if they are teaching it there needs to be some big fucking disclaimers. It’s normal for most people, straight or otherwise, to be confused at that age. And they need to spell that out in a way that gets through even to thickwitted teenagers.

      But you inadvertently helped me decide on which meme Imma post next, so thanks for that.

      Totally agree those kinds of things need to be reined in. Idgaf what consenting adults do behind closed doors with each other but leave kids out of it and get a fucking room. Still waiting for Cuties to be banned but seems like everyone forgot about that shit.

      IMO there’s way too much sexual shit done in public, in media, or that’s easily accessible to <18yo’s these days. Yeah, you’re always gonna have horny teens trying to get on porn sites (or get porn mags/vids/whatever) but back in my day, we at least had to work for it.
