We really gotta realize on a large scale that the “brain is finished developing at 25″ is not just a misconception, it’s a deliberate lie that is being spread to attack young people, take their rights away and justify the abuse they are constantly targeted by as a feature of our society, not a bug. And to see queer people parrot this bullshit to win internet arguments with 16y/os while it’s being used to make hrt illegal for people under 25 is, and I don’t say this lightly, nazbols trying to pass as leftists levels of intellectual dishonesty.
Like I am pissed and bitchy right now, but with every fiber of my heart I mean it, if you perpetuate the idea of the “fully developed brain” you are complicit in child abuse, wether you know it or not.

Hey, tumblr queers.
This concerns you.
You may not care about youth rights, but unless you want it to be illegal to be openly queer around people below their 20s, this concerns you!
You may not care about paraphiles, or the conflation of pedophilia and abuse but unless you want queerness to be outlawed on the grounds of being deviant sexuality, because we are letting the idea of some sexuality as inherently abusive float around, this concerns you!
If you want queer rights you will have to get your hands dirty and think about youth oppression and putitanism as it affects the perception of paraphilias and understand that they’re problems that will get us killed, too.
This op: hey I want to remind everyone about this real scientific fact that brains don’t ever stop developing and of misinformation that is used to create legislation/policy that is constricting youth rights!
Antis/puritans/whatever the fuck these people are: you’re a pedophile
