We accept that spanking and circumcision don't mess up kids, so they don't.

We accept that having sex with adults or watching videos of kids doing such harms kids, so it does.

The map argument that the thing which harms kids is more how society reacts to their experiences than the experience itself holds weight.

They've done experiments on manufactured trauma, having a kid play with a toy car, then having the kids mother act like the toy car is hurting this child, and seeing that now the kid is scared of the toy car. That's how traumatic experiences form, they can be anything and we can condition people to be traumatized by the experience through administration of protection and recovery.

Taboo is the origin point of trauma, they learn what was done to them was bad, they learn that they should feel bad about it, they know its something that now distinguishes them from others in a significant and negative way that they should conceal, they feel like the other, my idea is to take a bunch of kids and make them all feel victimized by something completely innocuous.

Suffering is relative, when everyone is totally blind, a one eyed man feels like a king.

The pain of being disabled is living among able-bodied people as the normal state of things, it would be far more bearable if everyone lacked the same functions, because then they are just as capable as everyone else.

It's comparison and societal environments that creates traumatic experiences.
