Ship. Ship. Ship!
Idk if I trust teens to know they are allocishet - hard to know if its just societal pressure brainwashing them into believing it. /hj
Speaking as a boring cishet guy, I know it would have taken some major, science fiction-level brainwashing to get me to stop liking the girls I went to high school with, and/or start being interested in the boys. “Societal pressure” would not have been nearly enough.
It’s much more humane, and kind, to simply accept and support people.
I use to think I was cis and het too. Up until my late 20’s. Turns out I was wrong on both. Still don’t think we should start assuming people who say they are cishet are just delusional though.
I didn’t figure out I was nonbinary and asexual until my mid twenties. I had an entire gender crisis in high school too. But at the time I didn’t know either were things you could be so I’d just concluded that I was cis, but that I was deeply uncomfortable with the expectations society puts on boys/men.
Sexuality was an even wilder journey. Not only did I initially think I was heterosexual but I was outright homophobic. Turned out to be that I was mistaking being uncomfortable at overt sexual advances as dislike of gay people. I didn’t have the same problem with women because “of course I like girls, I just haven’t found The One™©® yet” lol. Then when I finally thought about it more I realized that I didn’t really feel any differently about men and women so I must be bi. Finally I eventually realized “Yeah dumbass, 0 = 0. Good job.”

Because it was never about protecting children. It’s about upholding normalcy.
Yes, some people are legitimately concerned about “what if they regret it?”. In some part it is to convince both “the normies” and the “they go low, we go high” type liberals. But for the most part, it’s nothing more than what I call “Power Play”.
Power Play in a nutshell is about being hypocrites, kind of on purpose, but usually behind the thick veneer of “concerns”. It’s to showcase “we are the ingroup, we can do this”, while the “concerns” are nothing more, than all the time school bullies convinced their teachers the bully victim stole their lunch money, but they took it back.
In this case, it’s nothing more than to put them gays back in their place. They can sexualize minors, they can consume lolicon doujinshi, they can even get actual CSAM and molest children. Maybe they will let their token transphobic femboys away with shotacon stuff. But the most important stuff is that you cannot even exist, not even if you not harming minors.

It’s about upholding normalcy.
Does calling it “normalcy” play right into their hands? It kind of implies that they’re right, that their vision is objectively normal.
It being statistically normal doesn’t make it better. Whether it’s true is irrelevant because even assuming it is, it’s still not better just because it’s normal.
