Over 90% of parents of visibly intersex children opt for cosmetic surgery on their infants.

The ones that don't experience medical violence then, likely experience it as a teenager.

I didn't.

I am very rare in that I did not experience medical violence.

Why? Because I learned what intersexuality was as a young age, and I actively fought against what doctors wanted to do to me. All the way down to legal research on what medical care minors can be forced into. I remember walking into that doctor's appointment with the state law written down that proved that if I did not consent they could not do surgery.

Die gesamte Bevölkerung wird unter Generalverdacht gestellt, den Sozialstaat auszunutzen. Arztpraxen werden komplett überlastet sein. Eine mögliche Entlastung durch Telefon-AU soll abgeschafft werden. Statt Lösungen für die tatsächlichen Problem für gestiegene Krankschreibungen zu liefern, werden weiter Therapieplätze abgebaut. Jemand, der mal einen Tag nicht zur Arbeit kann, wird nun wahrscheinlich mind. einen Tag länger fehlen, weil Fahrt zur Arztpraxis und stundenlange Wartezeit wahrscheinlich nicht zur Genesung beitragen werden. Ärzte werden wahrscheinlich ohnehin häufiger gleich für eine ganze Woche krankschreiben, weil sie auch nicht riskieren wollen, dass die gleiche Person am nächsten Tag wieder vor der Tür steht. Und wer blau machen will, macht trotzdem noch blau - denn dafür gibt es auch immer Gründe und der Gang zum Arzt wird niemanden davon abhalten.

Greetings from Erfurt.

I've been out and about since 5 am and I'm 1000% sure there are some narratives the asshats are going to spin about the protests in the next couple days (as they did in the days leading up to it, fantasising about the elusive Antifa attacking from roofs and what not) so if your co-workers or relatives say any of those things in the next days, I want to make some things very clear:

"The Antifa overslept and missed the delegates lol"

Protestors were awake all night. They meticulously planned 14 blockades for the past six months in and around town and successfully held them for hours. Unfortunately that amount of planning didn't go unnoticed so the AfD planned accordingly and either arrived a day early on the premises or had the help of their best friend the police to escort them unharmed to the conference hall.

"They were violent"

If they are the police, yes. If they are the protestors, no.

"But they attacked journalists!"

They defended themselves against right wing bloggers who kept provoking and teasing. The protestors asked them to leave several times and the so called journalists didn't comply and thought "Ah yes, provoking a lion inside a lion's den is a great idea." Sorry but play stupid games win stupid prizes.

"The entire thing was a failure for the left"

The organisers didn't manage to do what they set out to do. That sucks and everyone was pretty bummed out about it. BUT they mobilised 17k people to block streets. There were between 30k and 50k people in total in and around town, protesting. There were speeches, concerts, workshops, crafting stations, activities and countless things more everywhere and I haven't felt this at home here in a very long time. Thank you Widersetzen for your great work. I'm not a very brave person but after today maybe you'll find me sitting on the Autobahn the next time, too ❤️

... also this happened

clark, just trying to get a girl to like him:

"He betrayed Odin" - no

"He betrayed Grandmaster/Thanos/Mobius" - no and f u

"He wanted to take over NYC" - no

"He killed his mother" - no and f u #2

"He was a bad king" - no evidence of that either

Etc

But never, NEVER "Loki tried to eradicate his own race".

Which! He DID DO. HE TRIED TO OFF HIS PEOPLE AND HIMSELF OUT OF SPACE-RACISM.

things you can’t say about the USA:

it’s the most right wing or conservative place on earth
