the push for age and identity verification is a direct consequence of the push to criminalize porn, which is a direct consequence of the push to label trans people as porn.

the push for age and identity verification is a direct consequence of the push to criminalize porn, which is a direct consequence of the push to label trans people as porn. these three fights are linked, and we won't win if we're only fighting one or two of them.

don't like the destruction of privacy? then you have to fight for porn and trans people.
don't like porn bans? then you have to fight for privacy and trans people.
don't like transphobia? then you have to fight for privacy and porn.

every attempt to fight for only one or two of these things has failed and will fail because people will compromise their fight for the things they want to stop the things they don't want.

you have to fight for all of them.

i've seen people fight for trans rights while also wanting identity verification and porn bans, and they always compromise on the trans rights bit. they end up either doing nothing about trans rights, or they actively sell them out in favor of porn bans. every time.

because you absolutely can't have porn bans and trans rights right now. porn bans are a symptom of transphobia in current year. it doesn't matter how much you hate porn and want it banned, you can't ban it and keep trans rights, because anti-porn/anti-trans politicians and activists have linked these things together. porn bans and identity verification are just weapons being used in the fight against trans rights.
