Women should have a choice just as men do. Women are dying because we are limited on what we have access to and choices we can make.
Jessica supported: End Government Interference in Women's Personal Medical DecisionsAs a person who was forced medication at a mental ward because I was showing signs of trauma. I think we need to truly stop further traumatizing/hurting people in order for them to fit normalcy or to act "right". There's so much nuance in healing. Please allow people to keep their bodily autonomy when they're mentally ill. Otherwise you will traumatize them further. There's no humanity in forcing people to fit into boxes because you don't deem them normal. Please share this so no one has to fear people even more after probably living their whole life in fear, because they've seen how monstrous people can be first hand. Don't let these people get away with hurting people even further than they've already been hurt. It generally takes trauma to bring out mental illness. Let people decide their own care!!!! It's a detriment to our society when people that have never gone through something try to negate people who have. None of us our free until ALL OF US ARE FREE!
Alex supported: Support Legislation for Patient-Requested Halt of Court Orders for Shock TherapyAs a volunteer with MindFreedom International, I advocate on a daily basis for survivors of forced shock and I've witnessed the trauma and physical impairment that it so often causes!
Sarah supported: Support Legislation for Patient-Requested Halt of Court Orders for Shock TherapyA few years ago, when I was in 6th grade myself, Chess.com was one of the most visited sites across my middle school - and for good reason; it's not only enjoyable, but also poses substantial academic and general mental benefits. However, whether it was for the ads (none were really anything explicit from my experience) or the fact that too many kids were playing it, it got blocked. However, in exchange, they gave us Lichess - another very popular site that is used by millions of people. This seemed fine on the surface - after all, Lichess is a completely free site run solely on donations - what could go wrong? The problem with Lichess is it has an UNFILTERED pm (private message) system. As you can imagine, that went wrong... very quickly.
So why am I bothering to type this, and even more importantly, why are you bothering to read this? Well, it's simple. If the district is worried about sensitive ads and private messaging features, why not just block the subdomain for chatting? They have already done this before with many other sites (YouTube Shorts and Zoom's team chat), so why not this? Additionally, even if the site is unblocked, teachers can still block sites for the class period, so this seems like a win-win.
All in all, Chess as a whole poses massive benefits to students across the world - squandering this opportunity is a huge waste.
