Transgender day of remembrance is about recognizing the frequency of violence towards transgender people specifically. Is there a large amount of violence towards other transID beings than transgender people? No, not really. So, I don’t understand how this needs to be about anyone else. Also, with this reasoning shouldn’t all holidays about recognition for minorities of any kind instead be about all other minorities? No, of course not. There can be holidays about specific minorities, no? So why is this any different?

Now try to also teach children how to help themselves on their own in case someone sexually takes advantage of them. There are certain things that children just can’t do on their own that adults can. What don’t you think children can be taught to do? Can they run the country?

I think your assumption that sex is “only a thing people do with their bodies” is precisely your roadblock. Anything we do at all is just something that people do with their bodies, yet we still have negative and positive emotions. If sex isn’t important to you, why are you here supporting this topic?

Sex carries incredible emotional weight for many people, and should be handled much more gently than something like learning how to play piano.
