Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Legislating how people use their bodies is wholly wrong. It is not the place of any government to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body, especially when I’m heeding the medical advice of a doctor.
It is just as wrong to tell me I have to, or can’t, get pregnant. Those decisions belong to me and me alone, and that goes for the other 8 billion people in this world as well. Humans have bodily autonomy.
You should be vociferously defending that right for yourself.
So you would repeal laws that prevent 12 year Olds from getting tattoos?
Like the other guy said. If a doctor said my child was far more likely to commit suicide without a tattoo, and they could live their fullest and truest lives as themselves tatted up, you bet your ass I’d take that kid to get a tattoo.
Am I the villain here?
I'm just going off your first sentence: "Legislating how people use their bodies is wholly wrong."
Now you're talking about medical conditions, which means it's not wholly wrong, it's conditionally wrong.
Apologies for being ambiguous in the first sentence. You can read the subsequent ones for clarity on my position.
If there is a valid medical reason for it, yes.
