Read Monsters in Our Midst!

Who’s the REAL monster?
The real monster is the systems that control youth’s bodies. The systems that constantly watch and surveil youth. That cut key information about young people’s bodies and health from classrooms. And shove religion down their throats, and slice away life-saving medical access! Now that’s creepy.
These monsters teach young people that they must live up to restrictive gender and social roles, and grow up to be perfect members of a flawed system. And villainize them when they are any different.
The monster wears a perfect mask that shouts about “protecting children.” But something is eerie about this facade. What lurks underneath?
