Attn: all "progressives" and "feminists"
If you have perpetuated the idea that "brain maturity" is a thing, these transphobic bills are your fault.
If you have ever said that young adults are not real adults, referred to 18+ year olds as "boys/girls/kids/children," or invoked "their parents, these transphobic bills are your fault.
If you have ever called other people "brainwashed," "delusional," or said that they "need therapy" because of choices they've made or experiences they've had, these transphobic bills are your fault.
If you have ever said or implied, or failed to dispute, that disabled, Mad, or neurodivergent people should be "helped" against their will, these transphobic bills are your fault.
Your ableist, ageist, neurobigoted rhetoric laid the groundwork for these bills.
YOU perpetuated the idea that young adults aren't competent to make their own decisions until they're 26.
YOU perpetuated the idea that disabled, Mad, neurodivergent adults are mentally children.
YOU perpetuated the idea that people who make choices you don't like are "brainwashed" and "need therapy" to fix them.
THIS. IS. YOUR. FAULT.
You wanted to judge college students and people with weird eating habits and people dating adults with age differences between them, so you rationalized your judgment with neurobigoted and ageist rhetoric, and now it's blown back on the most vulnerable, most despised segments of the population -- like anyone could have predicted it would. This is your fault. Stop before you get more people killed.
