      Jax took that comment way out of context.

      The original thread was about puberty blockers being blocked by NHS when prescribed to kids with gender dysphoria.

      At no point did a specific age come up, but it’s assumed that puberty blockers would be most effective before puberty.

      However by this point in the thread, Jax had commented that they didn’t feel comfortable with kids taking birth control, a different tangent.

      I responded, in sarcastic tone (and to a reply to Jax’s post, as in, to a third party), as if surprised to learn that people should be taking birth control or receiving HPV vaccines before they start having sex (as in, not when they start having sex).

      Jax responds that they just aren’t comfortable with kids having sex.

      I respond with the quote above, Jax replies with:

      So you’re either suggesting that 12 year olds should be fucking high schoolers, or you’re just too dumb to think about what you said. I’ll give you a few minutes.

      I don’t know where that leap came from, but it followed me here a day or two later.

      AITA?

        A lot of shitty things are done under the guise of, “It makes me feel uncomfortable”

        Trans people especially, anything to do with them really, Oh I make you uncomfortable, guess we will just magically stop existing.

        And for the uncomfortable people out there, most times the “stop existing” thing, comes in the form of unaliving because we aren’t cis like everyone else… that’s kinda the whole thing

        I think there’s a real Red Scare style trend among zoomers with regards to pedophilia. Any time they can find the slightest pretext to link someone to pedophilia, they’ll do it and then call a mob with pitchforks.

      Different conversation. Was talking about the effects of GnRH on the body, it led to a conversation of the similar effects of birth control on kids. I mentioned how I didn’t like the idea of kids needing to take birth control, which then brings us to that comment.

      The kids in question would have been 12, right around when puberty starts. So the “sorry you didn’t get laid in high school” sure fucking sounds like this person is saying that they think it’s normal for high schoolers to fuck 12 year olds. You can draw whatever conclusions you want from that, I’ve drawn mine.

      Edit: you can look through my comments, I stand by everything I’ve said.

        Ah, I see. From what limited info you’ve given here, it sounds like you blew a common saying way out of proportion, but maybe I’m missing some of the more important context.

          The context is children taking puberty blockers, which means taking them at around 12 years old.

          The context is exactly what I stated it as, I have blown exactly nothing out of proportion. I gave them the opportunity to explain themselves originally, they declined by not responding, so tell me exactly what conclusion should I draw?

          “Oh it’s fine that this person insulted me when I’m expressing my feelings (I cannot believe I just referred to being creeped out by kids taking birth control and fucking high schoolers as feelings), they deserve the respect they didn’t give me.”

          Absolutely not, if the above is what you’re suggesting you can have these hands too.

          Edit: I have to add, I did just randomly find this person again. I did not go out of my way to follow their comments. I just realized that might seem possible.

            I… regardless, bringing this unrelated beef into this thread is a rude fucking thing to do to both them and us. Like i haven’t seen this level of pettiness in a good bit.

            Keep it in your own thread. Isn’t that like a golden Internet rule?

            kids taking birth control and fucking high schoolers

            I think this is the issue. These are two separate statements and you’re conflating them.

            “Someone didn’t get laid in high school” is a pretty common phrase that just means you’re lame. I think it’s a coincidence that the original topic was prepubescent puberty blockers.

            The alternative is that someone just decided out of nowhere to proclaim their love for pedophilia. I think it’s far more likely that you misunderstood them.

              My comment: My point is moreso that kids shouldn’t be having sex, but sure yeah. Read into it guys.

              Their response: Sorry you couldn’t get laid in high school.

              Really? So you really think this is out of context? When it is quite literally the context? I have a feeling I’m going to get snapped from this thread at some point so I sent you a DM.

                I do, actually. I mean really, take a step back and think about it. Why would someone just casually advocate for a sexual relationship between high schoolers and 18 year olds? That’s not how conversations work. That’s not how people work.

                His point was just, “actually, kids do have sex, a lot, even if you weren’t aware of it when you were a kid”.

                I feel like you’re trying to turn this into a pedophilia thing. It’s such a stretch. You misunderstood, and you decided that the worst possible interpretation was the one you were gonna go with.
