Remember: It’s not paedophilia if it comes from the Bible.

"Remember, its not pedophilia if it makes me come" - Republicans.

Instructions very unclear. Are trans people pedophiles or not??? /s

I know it's a joke but it still feels like lampshading a transphobic statement. One day it would be nice to go through a comment section about stuff like this and not be personally and explicitly reminded that people draw a connection between transness and wanting to do unspeakable shit to kids. It hurts even when it is sarcasm.
