sure, a mature and intelligent 14 year old girl isn’t allowed to know she’s queer because “she’s a child” but my 4 month old nephew reaches out his hand towards a woman and he’s “a real ladykiller already”

I am not a fan of the language suggesting that the fourteen-year-old isn’t a child. She is.

The reason why people assign heterosexuality to infants isn’t because they see them as mature or intelligent. It’s because they see heterosexuality as not being inherently sexual. They recognize that little kids can have crushes with no sexual element. And what we need to fight for is for the right of queer sexualities to get that same recognition: for it to be okay for a fourteen-year-old girl to know she’s queer not because she’s especially mature for her age, but because there’s nothing unusually mature about having a crush on another girl.

This is good
