This is inaccurate. No concerted effort exists to normalize 'age fluidity' as a way for adults to engage in sexual relationships with children. This is transphobic hoax that was created in an attempt to smear the LGBTQ community by linking them to pedophilia.
This smear is not a novel one. In fact, there have been repeated attempts to spread the long-disproven idea that homosexuality is linked to pedophilia, despite the lack of scientific proof to support this claim." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pedophiles-age-fluid/ #PhenomnSexualityPracticesPaederasty

Google Translate (Spanish to English):
*You have been canceled: the 'woke' movement and its lack of moral relativism*
In this new social conscience, ideas that do not fall into the category of acceptable are considered radically immoral.
At the beginning of the last decade, young progressives in the West, angered by the consequences of the Great Recession, mobilised to occupy the streets, read Thomas Piketty's theory of economic inequalities at 1,000 pages in length, and demonstrated against the 1% made up of the richest. All that has been forgotten. Young progressives are now woke, that is, they are more socially conscious and more outraged by racial and gender injustices. In colleges, professors have become cautious when tackling sensitive topics, especially if the class is broadcasting on Zoom. And the new social conscience is not just a thing for young people. The latest Hollywood movies have increasingly diverse castings, and men are overshadowed by the starring role of perfect women. The more traditional newspapers have begun to speak of "supreme white". "Nike and even the CIA run ads talking about patriarchy and intersectionality.
The word woke (awake, aware) began to be used in the African-American fight against racism, but it has also come to designate progressive politics on gender and trans rights in particular. The horrific videos of unarmed black men being murdered by police officers that began circulating on social media in the mid-2010s notably boosted critical race theory, an intellectual trend that emerged in university law departments. and sociology. In recent years, the right wing has also started to use the word, but with an ironic and pejorative connotation: if someone speaks of wokism (in a pejorative tone) there is no doubt that they are opposed to racial and gender politics. ist.
In many ways, this woke wave is reminiscent of the political correctness of the 1990s and its emphasis on controlling language. Today's activists tend to be outraged by any pressure that they find problematic and controversial, at words that, in today's environment, are not only seen as mildly controversial, but have consequences. Contrary to what happens in most currents of the intellectual left, the Woke movement is not relativistic at all; when a person receives the qualification of problematic they run the risk of ending up "canceled", disappeared. This new awareness is a stained phenomenon: ideas or behaviours that do not fall into the category of acceptable are considered radically immoral. But the woke movement has also become an obsession for the right wing, which enjoys being outraged because something or someone has been "canceled". Being against the woke allows conservative media and politicians today to unite for a new cause, but the revolt that each case of cultural cancellation provokes distracts the right and prevents it from making a fundamental political reflection.
Another striking aspect of the woke movement is how it prioritises different types of oppression. The new social consciousness includes feminism, but according to "intersectional" principles, feminists must give the first line to transgender rights, as the controversy around J. K. Rowling (the Harry Potter writer starred in a controversy last year by hinting that in order to be a woman she has menstruation). The "Karen" meme - which portrays the stereotype of a white, bourgeois and racist woman - indicates that feminism is also below anti-racism. Another example was the resistance of the German media to talk about the sexual assaults that occurred during the celebrations. New Year's Eve 2016 for fear of being accused of stigmatising the alleged culprits.
It is curious that European activists have adopted aspects of the Woke movement that are specific to the United States: for example, the denunciation of the actors against the blackface or the murder of George Floyd became international phenomena.
But the fundamental difference between Europe and the US is in the legislation. The laws against discrimination are much stricter in the United States than in Europe. In the US, corporate human resources departments have been offering employees training courses on inclusion and diversity since the 1970s. The future of the Woke movement on both sides of the Atlantic will depend on the ability of activists and their adversaries to take advantage of the current moral outrage to make significant legal changes.
François Bonnet is a sociologist at the French Center for Scientific Research. He is the author of The Upper Limit (University of California Press, 2019).

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEdwardMalnick "The advertising boycott of GB News shows Britain can no longer take basic democratic values for granted, the Culture Secretary has warned.
Writing for The Telegraph, Oliver Dowden said a 'vocal Twitter minority' was targeting the 'free and diverse media' and the 'right to dissent'.
The Cabinet minister pledged: 'We will not stand by and allow that to happen.'
In an escalation of the Government's so-called 'war on woke', Mr Dowden insisted the fledgling centre-Right broadcaster is right to seek to 'empower' viewers who feel that their 'concerns have been unheard'.
His intervention came after several companies withdrew advertising from GB News in its first week on air in the face of a 'stop funding hate' campaign.
Mr Dowden said: 'When he launched the channel, veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil vowed that GB News would not be 'an echo chamber for the metropolitan mindset', and that it would 'empower those who feel their concerns have been unheard'.
'Rightly so. A free media is one that has a diverse range of opinions and voices.'
Mr Dowden identified the protection of journalism and political opinions as 'the grounds of a functioning democracy', adding: 'Sadly, we can no longer take them for granted.
'Across the West, our values of tolerance and freedom of expression, for which previous generations have fought and died, increasingly risk being undermined by a small but vocal minority. For them, these are not absolute, but relative, concepts, ready to be bent to silence dissent from their world view.'
In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Luntz, the veteran US pollster behind use of 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' said he fears 'capitalism' is becoming a 'bad word' in Britain, and said he is seeking an alternative to the word." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/19/exclusive-gb-news-boycott-shows-cant-take-democratic-values/

Supplementary: #MagazineUKAreoGabrielAndrade "It is unfortunate that trigger has become a dominant metaphor for describing times when a strong emotional reaction is evoked. A trigger is mechanical, not organic. It cannot be bargained with, related to or altered. A trigger is pulled by an external force, and its activation is inexorably followed by a cascade of events beyond our control. The term gives a sense of inevitability to whatever happens next and implies that we are powerless to do anything once these events have been set in motion.
The lack of agency evoked by the image is further heightened when we use a passive construction. When we say I'm triggered, we place ourselves in the role of a helpless bystander, acted upon by forces that we cannot influence. Our only defense is to avoid becoming triggered in the first place. Hence, trigger warnings. Implicit in the metaphor of trigger is the false idea that painful emotions are dangerous and need to be avoided." https://areomagazine.com/2019/02/19/triggered-a-defeatist-metaphor/
Addendum: The pejorative use of the 'triggered' metaphor seeks to cast subjects of such characterisations negatively. When considered in terms of #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT, the meanings, which are associated with triggered represent the 'source domain', which in using the pejorative characterisation, are (intentionally) applied to the subject ('target domain') who in doing so, become imbued with the these ideas. To paraphrase the #MagazineUKAreoGabrielAndrade piece above, using the characterisation pejoratively is about casting the subject as a "helpless bystander, acted upon by forces that we cannot influence", which is effectively a synonym for #CharacterisationWeakness evoking the #MetaphorVersusWeaknessStrength (which positions everything that is good as #CharacterisationStrength against everything, which is weak/bad).
#CharacterisationWeaknessCuck [?]
Context: "Its literal meaning references a submissive man sexually cuckolded by a woman. Now, it is a catch-all among the alt-right, in the dark corners of the internet where feminismisacancer hashtags are a badge of pride and the real enemy is PC culture, where 'cuck' has become shorthand for any perceived weakness, or rather, perceived reluctance to exploit strength. ...
The word gained political potency during the 2016 election in the portmanteau 'cuckservative' (cuck + conservative) used to imply that the mainstream conservatives of the Jeb Bush variety are weak and effeminate. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is not a cuckservative. He says what he wants and doesn't care if it's offensive. In reference to Trump's comments about Megyn Kelly having 'blood coming out of her wherever,' radio host Rush Limbaugh snarked, 'If Trump were your average, ordinary, cuckolded Republican, he would have apologized by now.'
But Donald Trump doesn't apologize. He went on to win the Republican presidential nomination as Jeb Bush, the one-time favorite, was irrevocably set back by a simple insult from Trump delivered with an invisible wink: 'low-energy.'...
After the Civil War, the white supremacist movement radicalized its supporters with the fear of black men raping white women. Even Shakespeare evoked the sexual element of racial angst: in Othello, Iago attempts to pit Desdemona's father against his Moorish son-in-law by evoking very specific imagery: 'Even now, now, very now, an old black ram / Is tupping your white ewe.'
In 2016, the word 'cuck' resonates with white nationalists who feel as though their country has been taken away from them, and not enough had been done by the cuckservative establishment conservative party to protect it. 'Cuck' is a concept borne out of insecurity: a fear that one is inadequate, sexually or otherwise, and that inadequacy will lead to the loss of the things that are important to him." https://www.gq.com/story/why-angry-white-men-love-calling-people-cucks #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #PoliticallyCorrectPC #CharacterisationWeaknessCuckservative #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPJebBush #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #2016_ #NMUSFOXFNCMegynKelly #TalkbackRadioRushLimbaugh #NarrativeWarAmericanCivil #SlurWhiteSupremacy #IRLHistoricalFigureWilliamShakespeare #1603_Othello #FictionalCharacterDesdemona #IdentityBlack #PoliticsNationalismWhite #MetaphorPurityRacialWhiteWomenAndBlackMen
