I'm so so sorry

I see some similarities as well when I read about Hong Kong but I feel like yours were much more significant and large scale, I'm struggling to find the right words

Arturo Gamboa, a 24-year-old punk musician and son of a Venezuelan immigrant, is the man being held on suspicion of murder. He'd attended protests since 2020 while open carrying a rifle, but had never used it. A friend said: “He’s a good kid. Literally willing to take a bullet for his community.”

Have it on record: the contagion *should* be seducing your sons and daughters. Freedom to live as you wish should be--and is--contagious

A society that isn't systemically transphobic ought to have a higher rate of voluntary detrans ppl because that means its members can *try* even when they're not ready to die trying, that transition isn't a desperate last resort but sth a citizen can freely do

The fees are one of the most expensive in the world too, I think a single application costs more here than in the US.

No one being owed a life free of mental pain is not a justification for intentionally inflicting it for the sake of compliance??? like what. Yes a child might be sad if they drop their ice cream but that doesn't mean its ok for me to knock it out of their hands because they wouldn't stop talking

Do you think children are dumb?
The way you talk about trauma is concerning as well. Constantly feeling controlled and not having freedom can be traumatising. And even if it weren't, it's still painful, is mental pain okay if it doesn't lead to trauma? What the hell.

I'm obviously not talking about neglecting children or not providing care, or not teaching them what's harmful and how to avoid it. If anything, many parents use control as a way to avoid doing that.

I don't know why liberation excludes care. When I oppose control, I mean things that literally uphold authority and teach kids to follow that.
E.g. telling them to never question adults, any kind of punishment and punishment based upbringing, other adults never questioning parents' behaviour, etc.

Liberating children and childhood is really the most important step to liberating everyone, and these people are actively against it.
