"

I'm familiar with the genderqueer book.

And I did not read it but I am familiar with what's in it.

I got close to the end I've read the whole thing so far.

The first thing everybody knows about this book is that it was shown to children and it has inappropriate images of sexual activity among adults.

The characters in it are in their 20s.

I think at the time when they're engaging in these activities.

They're showing these explicit activities to children and the author said in an interview It should have been more explicit.

The first thing people don't know about it which many of you may know because you've heard me say it Adnausium but I'll say it for those that aren't familiar is that the intro to the story is this this woman talking about her severe Psychological trauma and abuse but it's clear.

She doesn't understand.

She was abused by her parents made to pee in the yard when she was three years old.

She couldn't read till she was 12.

She would wear Dried old crusted pads with blood flaking off of it when she went to school and she smelled so bad She got called into the counselor and told you need to learn basic hygiene.

My question is where are her parents her parents were abusing her What you discover in the end of the book she explains that what she's doing is actually her sexual fetish.

She is aroused by being perceived as a man.

She says it in the book and then it's like interesting.

So it would seem that the entire thing they're teaching children is They want you to engage in the sexual fantasies of other adults in day-to-day life.

Is it isn't that called auto-gina felia when you're turned on by or is it all that only when auto-androfilia?

What she calls it right so she's aroused the thought of herself being a man.

Yeah, and When so so you have to imagine when this person is going around and saying call me this call me this It's like are you asking us to engage in your sexual fantasy to arouse you?
