And this is why the "groomer" name calling epidemic is so sinister. They are close to making being non CIS presenting illegal and tantamount to being a child rapist.
What context are we talking about? Are you saying that LGBTQ folks are being labeled as groomers?
Edit: downvoted for asking a question.
I think that's what OP is saying, that conservatives are (and have been) trying to associate the word "groomer" as being a purely LGBTQ+ thing, and that no straight man or woman is capable of child rape. We all know that's false, as just about everything we see in regards to child rape has been done by white males (priests and alter boys, for example) and white females (teachers having sex with students, for example).
cultsuperstar already answered, but I want you to know I agree that it’s nonsensical to downvote questions. Others may have the same question, and downvoting it will only hide the question and answer from view.
It's been going on for a long time now - where have you been living?
I've heard something about trans folks and bathrooms or lockers, but that's about it.
