i absolutely hate this, and at the same time, you’re entirely on point here. it’s beginning to feel a lot like sex crimes are a rite of passage to the new regime, bonus points if it’s a hate crime directed at a trans person
I’m reminded of a comment by a representative in West Virginia when they were considering raising the age of marriage to something less awful about how doing so would undermine their way of life
Yeah I remember being furious about it. Like I’m generally pro teenagers doing whatever teenagers will do with each other so long as it’s consensual and they have proper sex ed. But people under the age of majority should not be marrying adults. It contains a crippling power dynamic and fucks them up
I’m pretty certain they’ll still be able to report a crime, but it becomes selectively enforced and used to control people.
Or they encourage victims to speak up, then force them to marry their rapist and remove all agency from them in that marriage to prevent them from speaking about it again.

I’m honestly surprised they haven’t lowered the age of consent to 12 whilst accusing transpeople of being pedos at the same time somehow.

Jesus Christ, at this point when they tell on themselves I mostly just get scared because I realize there are fucking pedos everywhere.

What do you mean “sex crimes”? There’s about to be no such thing by the end of the next 4 years. Women won’t be able to report crimes

Or both.
Or something worse than all of the above.
Sex crimes happen to men, too.
I wasn’t talking about men, I was talking about women.
