Obfuscation and abuse of language is frequently used by governments and supporters of the carceral agenda on "sexual offending". This sometimes represents an attempt to re-draw moral and ethical boundaries, but broadly functions to silence dissenters and hide gross abuses of power. The following terms have been loaded in such a way by various authorities:

Politically adopted/weaponized

  • Safeguarding - Conflates a range of questionable measures. Used in public policy, but also linked to socially conservative belief systems.
  • Grooming - The presence of consent or agency leading up to unlawful sex.
  • Sexualization - Referring to a loss of supposed Childhood Innocence. Now strongly indicated as conservative or "radically" feminist.
  • Age-appropriate - A term that is used to nativize and render inevitable the withholding of knowledge that is peculiar to anglo/amerocentric western societies. Has seen some use by culture-war conservatives and feminists.
  • Survivor - Equates a sexual experience, unpleasant or otherwise with being involved in a mass shooting or deadly car accident. Has arguably seen political adoption post #metoo.
  • Sex Trafficking - Usually consensual economic illegal immigration related to the sex industry. "Child trafficking" is now highly indicated as a conspiracy-conservative/radfem cause, following the actions of charities such as Operation Underground Railroad.

The TIA thus encourages clients to blame existing problems on past experiences and continue seeking therapy indefinitely - benefitting the practitioner.

  • Adolescence - An imagined stage of life, used to extend age restrictions upward.
