Living with CFS/ME. I side with LGBTQIA+ people, disabled people, migrants, and anyone made into a scapegoat. I do not mistake cruelty for common sense.
@adamemedia1@PolitlcsUK@spectator Nah. I was circumcised without consent, no say in my own body before it was gone.
'No one complains' isn't an argument, people rarely complain about choices they never got to make.
Bodily autonomy shouldn't have a religious exemption. A baby isn't a member of a faith, just a baby
@Annokitsune@foreskinsight@ako_essex@PolitlcsUK@spectator A lot of cut guys are very anti-circumcision. Was mostly religious or medical reasons in UK, but that weird American "should look like dad" (🤮) has started creeping over too. It should be banned, unless there's real medical need, and they've exhausted other options.
Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously.
The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together.
Now is a time for real leadership.
@SaulStaniforth These reporters are telling you to ignore your eyes and ears, and instead, you should believe the polished lines being fed to you via Israel.
This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s.
It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.
The tech already exists on devices - teach parents to use it, don't mandate it and hand the state control over it. That's not child safety, that's a backdoor to surveillance and forced ID. Today nudity, tomorrow whatever they (or a future gov!) decide is "harmful."
Britain will become the first country in the world where it is impossible for children to take, share or view naked pictures on their devices.

@AgathaAutumn24@janekin24@BNEVideo@LeeWhiteh0use That's the trick. Using kids. It's how most authoritarian rules are first introduced.
There are better ways to deal with this than handing our IDs to 3rd parties who have a habit of getting breached... But the government wants to know everything about you, and doesn't care how...
This IDF soldier who shot a baby dead could be a British citizen. We would have no way of knowing.
That’s why Zack is right. We need to make sure any British national complicit in war crimes is held to account.
If this does not get the EHRC guidance scrapped, I don't know what will.
The UK needs to stop bowing to gender criticals and start protecting trans people fully.
Trans women are women, trans men are men.
@fiercepatricks Homosexually is observed across 1500+ species on Earth, and in every cross section of humanity throughout the ages. Homophobia is unique to humans, specifically the "bigot" variant.
@tifagirlx It's actually why I have a scar, from a stab wound, in my abdomen. The person did not take kindly to someone politely intervening. So it became a lot less polite.
Still great friends with the woman I helped though. Would do it again if I had to (and these days, was able to).
@BioAndy2@StrungShort@AmusedToDeath1 You mean apart from their long-established use for precocious puberty, where they pause puberty and it resumes afterwards? “Blockers sterilise children” is a slogan, not evidence.
