I believe that trans men and women deserve respect and are entitled to be treated equally. What I don't like is sexually confused people pushing their sexual confusion on to parents and children. Just because a baby can orgasm, does NOT mean we should be helping him/her orgasm. That is abuse. Why the hell can't these people understand that? Victims of abuse do not grow up to say, 'Mummy/daddy just helped me orgasm. I'm so grateful.' They don't say that, because if an adult were to do that, it would be an abuse of boundaries. As parents we teach our children that their bodies are theirs; that no one else has a right to touch them. That's an important aspect of teaching our children that no one has a right to disrespect them. "Ignorant' is not the word to use; 'innocent' would be a better word. And it is right to keep children innocent until they are mature enough to make those decisions and understand the ramifications of those decisions. The pre-frontal cortex (the rational, executive part) of the brain does not finish developing until the age of 25. Before that time, young adults do not have the capacity to understand the consequences (for themselves) of their actions. I'm not saying the age of consent should be 25. But certainly children don't have the maturity to understand sex and everything it entails.
