As a parent with two daughters, the eldest just into her teens, I worry about the shit they're exposed to online, not just the troon shit but all kinds of degenerate shit seemingly being pushed everywhere now, even by "officials" like educators and doctors and such, and the easy access and sheer depravity of porn, etc, which is something my generation never really had when I was their ages.
It's a dilemma as a parent, you don't want to be too "coddling" because that just makes kids go the other way even more, and there's no way to completely shelter them from all that shit anyway, so we've just tried to make sure that the relationship we have with our kids is such that they know they can talk to us about anything that concerns them without being embarrassed, and they're smart kids, they know what's up and when somethings not right, but its certainly a fine line.
I used to look at my Dad when I was a kid and think he had it all figured out, it's only now at my age I realize that's not really the case, you just play it by ear, day by day, and hope you don't end up burning the kitchen down in the process.
Yup. Fortunately people are still wired towards normalcy and most kids are going to come out ok, figure things out and have kids on their own.
Just gotta try to spend time with them, watch their online habits and watch out for bad influences.
Unfortunately bad influences today are often groomer teachers.
