"Inexplicably, US administration has launched an unprecedented assault on #science". Um, what? "Inexplicably"? How could one be surprised by this? Or did the denial of the very existence of intersex people, for example, not raise any red flags?

Quickly coming to the conclusion that when people accuse sex workers of "glorifying the industry" what they really mean is being mad at someone who refuses to frame their experience in SW as nothing but constant misery and abuse.

Same with sex work. There is misogyny and abuse in pretty much every industry, but those problems are not used as reasons to eliminate the entire industry the way it does with sex work.

Autistic women and other gender minorities have been screaming this for a long time: Autism is not an excuse for bad behavior, misogyny, or harassment towards others. "They can't read social cues" is not an excuse for abuse or harming others.

Is it really body positivity if there's no room for disabled people? I suspect it's not. If someone's body positivity has no room for disability, is it perhaps actually still just patriarchy (ie it's indicating an underlying belief that some people have higher worth than others)?
