#1 & 2. This argument ends in disaster though, no? From multiple angles.
Age of consent is arbitrary. No argument from me. But that doesn't make it any less necessary. If we start saying, "well, they're 17, that's close enough to adulthood," where is the sensible place to stop? Sometimes slippery slopes really are slippery.
But even if we ignore that and say that some 17-year-olds are mature enough to be exposed to an adult teacher's fetish, what about those who aren't okay with it? Numerous students complained and said they were uncomfortable. How many of them is it okay to make uncomfortable to satisfy an obvious adult fetish? 10? 20? 1?
And lastly, why should these kids have to indulge this adult? Why do the adult's feelings get precedence?Adults get to indulge their sexuality whenever they want. Whatever you're into, there's a club or a website where you make it happen. I know because I've been to a number of those clubs. I am very, very much not a prude. But I draw a bright red line around children. And I respect the age of consent on principle. This is one of the very rare cases where nuance is not a good thing in my opinion.
#3. Yes I have absolutely no issue with children learning that gay people and trans people exist. Absolutely none. I have a problem with talk about or demonstration of sexual activity for 4-year-olds. This absolutely extends to heterosexual sexual activity too.
#4. This is a weird segue. And seems a little disingenuous unless you're expecting a very long list. I don't have hang ups about nudity. It's weird how attacked you seem to feel by this issue. I simply think that adults should consider the comfort of those around them. Especially when it's easy to do so. I also think there should be some very obvious basic standards of decency around children that we can all agree on.
I don't think there are many adult human beings naive enough to look at that teacher and not see a fetishistic display. Of course there will be grey areas of acceptability. I think it's quite possible to have reasonable, genuine disagreements about those. This is not a grey area.
