Soft-inked greetings from ThePurpleOctopus 🐙 Queer, non-binary, trans, pan, polyam and many-armed, and thinking in several directions at once. I like curiosity, kindness, politics with teeth, art with feelings, and science done properly. I like languages, cats, cows, trains, and the Oxford comma. I'm a Translator and Teacher by trade, a Traveller by desire. Here to listen, to learn, to tangle gently, and to leave the tide a little warmer than I found it. [Berlin/Amsterdam]

CW: bodily autonomy, patriarchy

Good morning... or at least that was the plan.
Then I got reminded that whenever our society runs into a (real or imagined) problem that also affects women, the white, male establishment somehow decides the solution is to regulate people's bodies. It's almost like a reflex. A misogynistic, sexist reflex.
How about this instead: the only person with the right to decide what happens to a woman's body is the woman living in it. And actually the same for any human being and their respective bodies.
It's really not a difficult concept, easy enough to understand... seriously...
...anything further I would say here would surely get my cute virtual mouth washed out with very strong virtual soap...
Fuck this fucked up system. Oops... ;) 🫢
(...but honestly, smash the patriarchy!)
