i want to be very clear as someone who was forcefully hospitalized by police, lied to and brought to a second hospital by police. this is caging, it's basically jail or prison. it can be harder to get out of - I never saw or spoke to a lawyer. for a month. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1597640970698465280

"Both child abuse and mental health issues thrive when discussions about them are silenced by stigma, shame, and fear. It is only by speaking up and providing a space for others to do the same that we can bring about a better, safer world." https://buff.ly/3HMwBGf

Troubled-teen industry "wilderness" treatments have suffered numerous, and now new, allegations of child abuse. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/life/health-wellness/2022/12/08/wilderness-therapy-troubled-teen-industry/9890694002/
As a volunteer with Breaking Code Silence, I try to help kids sent to these for fake "sex/porn addiction" treatments.

"The real question is whether conservative Indonesian law and society will ever accept that pornography is inevitable in the modern world and start treating its citizens as adults who don’t need to be protected from the sight of other people having sex" https://buff.ly/3thHcjI

Sexual assault is preventable. If we treated it as a public health issue, we could greatly reduce the economic and human costs that survivors are burdened with, before they are ever burdened with them. https://buff.ly/3MUQjAa

To stop #humantrafficking, it needs to be disentangled from consensual adult sex work. Decriminalization takes #sexwork out of the illicit market. Clients shld have peace of mind knowing they are paying for a service that is being willingly & legally sold. https://decriminalizesex.work/why-decriminalization/briefing-papers/why-men-should-support-the-decriminalization-of-sex-work/

This story is chilling - and I’m sure some American politician will call for similar legislation here at any moment

THREAD: There has been a fair amount of discussion about how, even with the changes, the #KidsOnlineSafetyAct (or #KOSA) would be weaponized against LGBTQ+ folks & especially queer and trans youth.

But there's another huge problem with the bill: it would censor abortion content.

If we have learned anything from history, it is never good when the people in power start compiling lists of members of minority groups. https://buff.ly/3PsDq1x

Conservatives view anything LGBTQ+ as "sexual". This bill, if passed, will be used to essentially criminalize LGBTQ+ people's existence

Conservatives view anything LGBTQ as "sexual". This dangerous bill would criminalize LGBTQ people just for existing.

RT @mikestabile
The bill removes "patently offensive" and "community standards" from the current definition, meaning the Republicans have declared open season not only on porn, but nudes, sexts, sex ed and a whole lot of Hollywood. https://twitter.com/FSCArmy/status/1603434131710349312
