Abstract
This article proposes a reflection on the dread that, in Brazil, has plagued a large part of society with regard to issues of sexuality and gender, more specifically, the belief that children, considered to be devoid of sexuality, can be influenced by “perverted” discourse that activists and supporters of the LGBTQI+ movement would be trying to spread. After a brief description of the current scenario, psychoanalytical formulations are presented, aiming to demystify the mistaken idea of “purity” related to childhood and to raise hypotheses that would explain this absolute rejection of everything that is outside the norm in the field of sexuality.
