# Groomers 2

## Intro
- Grooming mentality
- Destabilizing identity in a politically actionable away
- Lead to transhumanism in the sense of Donnah Harroway's conception of a genderless, raceless, collectivist cyborg manufactured and programmed to have particular affinities which replace identities. Thus allowing a cohesive, political affinity which applies universally to all entities.

## WEF
- Use hi-tech medicine and infrastructure to plug humans into a semi-digital world

## Groomers 2
- Problematize innocence to destroy it
- Contemporary for mof the sexual liberation movement
- Comprehensive Sex Education and Social Emotional Learning
- Destabilize and disregard structure of reality if it supports supposed power dynamics and hegemony

## Lukach
- Destabilize through sexualization to make manipulable
- Young will hate the old generation
- The revolution proceeds off the back of destabilized identities

## Interrogating Innocence (2018 Julie C Garland)
- Exclusionary practice

## Queer Futurity and Childhood Innocence
- Assuming asexuality and proto-heterosexuality yield contradictions
- Emphasize sexuality within children's education
- Asexual children (presexual) is heteronormative thinking
- Counter this by emphasizing sexuality

### Queer Childhood
*Eve Sedgwick*
- Bringing up your kids gay at odds with childhood innocence
- Suggests that colonialism and slavery have corrupted our theories about childhood development
- Our ideas about childhood innocence are interwoven with white privilege i.e. Childhood innocence is racial innocence and naivety, which demonstrates one's privilege

## Queer Futurity 1
- References Eve's work as initiating consideration of childhood as a site of heteronormative intervention
- Cisheteronormativity is their bourgeois property or white privilege
- Assumes that heterosexuality is being artificially impressed upon the children to indoctrinate them (Iron Law of Woke Projection)

### Standard M.O.
- Conflate normativity with morality
- The more unique and distant an identity is from normal, the greater the capacity for moral judgment
- Assumes variation is morally relevant

#### Limitations
- Denies broad acceptance of homosexuality
- Marcusian lamentation that acceptance nullifies propensity for change
- Empowered by the fuel of catastrophisized minorities who demand revolution
- Target children to have them believe that mere inauthentic acceptance has been insufficient
- Exacerbate alienation as a revolutionary force
