I think it’s worthwhile to put in the source that references and talks about the necessity of these books more generally.

“At an event, a librarian shared with Harris that It’s Perfectly Normal kept disappearing from the shelves. She replaced it several times, but it kept happening, and it was beyond their budget to keep doing so. Then, one day, they all came back in a backpack with a note: “I took this book because I thought no child or teenager should read it. Then my 14-year-old niece got pregnant, and now I realize that children do need books like this.”

[…]

In the interview with Marcus, Harris said:

I have been called a pornographer, a child abuser — every name in the book, as the saying goes. But whenever I am called one of those names, I think of that ten-year-old girl. I wish we never had to talk with kids about any of these aberrant behaviors. But we have to do so because they already know about them to some extent and because kids have a right to have the accurate information that can keep them healthy and safe. [b][i]They need to know how to get help to make any abusive behavior stop[/i][/b].” Emphasis mine; this is why Republicans want these books pulled out of libraries. There’s no grooming in these books. They do not want children armed with knowledge.
