    our strange treatment of animals

    we anthropomorphise and infantilise our pets, yet boast about the animals we eat who've had legit insanity level cruel lives thanks to our systems.

    [ not saying fussing over your pets is bad, i love it too, just the contrast is whiplash++ ]

    lack of body autonomy

    hint: most lqbqtia rights, reproductive rights, medical/medication rights, are all the SAME RIGHT:

    your body, your choice.

    it is constantly under attack, and diffused into separate arguments when its the one right effecting all these issues. newsflash: when it comes to my body, your unwelcome opinion, religious or otherwise, ain't worth the air its vibrating through.

    slippery slope gatekeeping laws

    making harmless x illegal because a subset of x might lead to harmful y. if y is bad, then enforce your ban on y, and fuckoff trying to use it as an excuse to control x₀, x₁, x₂ etc.
