"When you engage in 'good faith debate' on topics like the right to bodily autonomy, all you're doing is ceding the idea that the subject itself is debatable.

"This causes further harm to those already being harmed, and positively reinforces the behavior of those causing the harm.

"Practice saying, "the right for human beings to control their own bodies is not up for debate with me, and if you disagree, we have nothing further to discuss," and leaving it at that."

"Reminder that the fascist's goal isn't to win the debate, it's to make his extreme ideas seem debatable. It's the stage they want. Don't let them have it." -- Michael Hall ([twitter.com profile] mhall119), 2022-07-21
