I would just like to point out that I do think this is a very reasonable take even if you're being downvoted. Perhaps there's no literal books of people blowing strap-ons, perhaps plenty of people don't consider that inappropriate for children. But it's never unreasonable to try to understand your "opponents" in a battle, and even perhaps come to compromise. Most social movements start by asking for a lot, then dialing back to more "agreeable" terms. Sure, the fight isn't over yet, but a battle being won is still important.
Hey thanks. It's okay, I knew my comment would not be popular, haha. There's definitely a litteral book with the strap on part, and a book that teaches you how to find specific porn and how to make it yourself. I listed them in a comment below.
I think we should definitely have queer representation in the books in our schools libraries. I don't see how pushing to keep ones with explicit material is going to help keep that representation there. If anything, it's going to cause a bigger pushback. We could have easily replaced them with school appropriate material instead.
