1 (the crime definition): An adult that builds a sense of trust with a minor to exploit and/or abuse them, typically (but not always) in a sexual manner. This is a crime, and it also causes harm to the minor.
2 (in US politics): What
republican politicians and supporters refer to LGBTQIA+
people and their allies as, to manipulate their audience to pass anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation. This is targeting and harming LGBTQIA+
people and the
people using the word in this manner typically are (or have connections with those who are) actual groomers.
3 (the pet definition): A person who washes and takes care of pets (typically but not always dogs) while people are away from their home, typically for pay. To make sure people are confused with the first definition, these people are typically called pet groomers.
1. You definitely shouldn't be a groomer, that's a crime and is outright immoral!
2. It's very ironic that Glen Uselmann considers LGBTQIA+
people as groomers when he literally groomed a 12 year-old from girl from 1988 to 1992.
3. I went on vacation last week and the flight had a no-pets rule, so I hired a pet groomer to make
sure my dog is okay while I'm gone.
