Because it was never about protecting children. It’s about upholding normalcy.
Yes, some people are legitimately concerned about “what if they regret it?”. In some part it is to convince both “the normies” and the “they go low, we go high” type liberals. But for the most part, it’s nothing more than what I call “Power Play”.
Power Play in a nutshell is about being hypocrites, kind of on purpose, but usually behind the thick veneer of “concerns”. It’s to showcase “we are the ingroup, we can do this”, while the “concerns” are nothing more, than all the time school bullies convinced their teachers the bully victim stole their lunch money, but they took it back.
In this case, it’s nothing more than to put them gays back in their place. They can sexualize minors, they can consume lolicon doujinshi, they can even get actual CSAM and molest children. Maybe they will let their token transphobic femboys away with shotacon stuff. But the most important stuff is that you cannot even exist, not even if you not harming minors.

It being statistically normal doesn’t make it better. Whether it’s true is irrelevant because even assuming it is, it’s still not better just because it’s normal.

Does calling it “normalcy” play right into their hands? It kind of implies that they’re right, that their vision is objectively normal.

I’m just questioning whether it’s productive for allies to label cis/hetero as “normal”.
