Happy Children's Day!

It's children's day today, be sure to show the children in your life some respect and treat them well. Children deserve to vote and be a part of society. They are very strongly oppressed by society, even to the point that they don't have the right to live on their own, and yet child labour is becoming more prevalent these days. It's very scary for anyone who might legally be considered a minor. Young people are regularly derided on the internet, their opinions are disregarded constantly. When a child has a valid argument against their parents, they are told that they are being disrespectful. Children are treated like slaves in our society. They deserve so much better.

This is especially true for queer and otherwise nonconforming youths. I remember being a young futanari and it was very difficult for me to be myself and my parents were transphobic, homophobic, and more specifically futaphobic as well. Young nonconforming people tend to be bullied, ostracized, made to feel invalid, and forced into uncomfortable situations by both their peers and the people who lord power over them.

Youth liberation movements seek to dismantle oppressive structures and attitudes that make life unnavigable for youths. We should try to empower young people because their lives matter and they deserve to be on equal footing like everyone else. The liberation of youths should allow them to make their own decisions about what they will do with their lives like any other individual. The fact that we force people to follow our idea of a life until they achieve a certain number of years is abhorrent.

Today should be a day of celebrating the wonders of young people and their wonderful contributions to our world.
