"“This legislative attempt to redefine obscenity is likely to be met with a constitutional challenge since it seeks to create a new category of unprotected speech that is inconsistent with U.S. Supreme Court precedent,” attorney Larry Walters told YNOT." https://buff.ly/3iCPz84

I don’t know about you, but child beauty pageants are way more problematic then consensual drag shows.

Today the Board overturned Meta’s original decisions to remove 2 posts depicting transgender and non-binary people with bare chests.

The Board recommends Meta change its rules on adult nudity and sexual activity so that they are governed by international human rights standards.

"Whatever the court ultimately decides concerning the Constitutionality of FOSTA, it’s clear the government doesn’t need this law to exist for the purpose of prosecuting sex trafficking." https://buff.ly/3OTY9Lf

#SB43 is a reckless attempt to remove LGBTQ people from public life. We won't back down in the face of bigotry. The bill has been assigned to the Senate City, County, and Local Affairs Committee.

For #HumanTraffickingAwarenessMonthlets let’s build awareness for the harmful censorship NCOSE has advocated for under the guise of caring about imaginary cherubic white children. Formerly Morality in Media, they let up on nagging @Eminem and the FCC about rap lyrics and changed

It can’t be the basic truth of “abusers are enabled everywhere and unchecked power of any kind has dangerous consequences for the vulnerable”, it has to be “satanic pedophile ring” https://twitter.com/LayahHeilpern/status/1597243975811100673

"Sex addiction" is not a term that inclusive and porn-literate sexuality professionals use, it's not in the DSM5, and your body can't overdose on the chemicals it makes to feel good. The term is often misused to describe people with "compulsive sexual behaviors"

"Accusations that the WEF promoted pedophilia in a statement are similarly inaccurate -- and they echo rhetoric from the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, which centers on accusations of child exploitation." https://buff.ly/3QujN9L

A recent study finds that CP/CSEM victimisation as a child can lead to anxiety, suicidal thoughts and relationship problems in adult life, but that those who view such material don't often escalate to contact abuse. https://buff.ly/3EKKW2Q

Anyway, I hate having to focus on this at all, but “child safety” is weaponized so much in ways that are currently threatening everyone’s safety due to aggressive surveillance, biometrics, censorship, etc. These folks actual agenda has to be exposed, it’s getting out of hand.

Survivors of abuse are not a monolith. Many have unique experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms. That's why Prostasia believes that all survivors deserve support and an opportunity to heal in whatever way works best for them, while avoiding any further harm.
