I’d be on board if “Sex offender” only included the people that everyone seems to think it includes. However it also includes people who peed in public while drunk, people who turned to prostitution when they fell on hard times, and children who were victims themselves.
Only thing that will make both sides happy is banning them entirely, which I am 100% in favor of
(Seriously, though, look up what gets classed as a sexual offence in your area. It’s not just child molestation, and sexual assault.)

How does a child victim end up a sex offender [without doing something else]?
Replying to @LodeMike@lemmy.today
Typically it is by doing something else because they’re mimicking what an adult did to them. Usually it’s younger kids (under 7-8) who mimic like that.

Nope, in the UK it requires more than just public urination to be seen as a sex offender. Unless you are windmilling and pissing all over someone’s window.

Ahh, neat, didn’t know that!
