What stood out to me about Buttigieg's substack post is that nowhere in it did he link the incident to the anti-lgbtq+ groomer rhetoric. His reluctance to name it speaks volumes about his centerist position and desire to depoliticize gay identity.
His betrayal of trans people gives this horrible incident a 'leopards ate my face' vibe. You should never concede an inch to transphobes. The bigots will start with easy targets such as trans people but will always move onto the nice 'normal' assimilated gay nuclear families when the opportunity arises. Respectability politics is a dangerous game.
The jerks in power don't even care about our children or what happens online, they just wanna control what we say or do online while also having a hit list on the people they don't like.

That's why they're pushing for age verification, ... unfortunately, there's a bipartisan push, but we can push back

Oh great, the legendary(not really) "queers are groomers" stereotype.
I freaking hate that.
