    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?

      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.
