You do not concede even an inch to these assholes. Ever. Under any circumstances.

They absolutely will criminalize my own bodily autonomy, if they can get away with it. I know this, because within my lifetime they have. So you fight back against every single encroachment on somebody else’s autonomy every single time it occurs.

Within my lifetime these assholes have made consensual sex between me and my husband a crime that would have landed either one of us on a sex offender registry.

No, sodomy laws are not some abstract, victimless, mostly-unenforced statute that just “reflects local community values.” And, of course, their buddies on the court have been dog whistling a willingness to “revisit” Lawrence ever since the court struck it.

History has repeatedly shown that you do not give these assholes an inch. Ever. Not ever. Under any circumstances. Ever.

You fight back against them every single time they encroach on the bodily autonomy of anyone, because if they can get away with doing it to women, they can, and have gotten away with doing it to gay people, to forced sterilizations of black people, and disabled people, to anyone and everyone they consider undesirable.

What would happen if the US government told the British government in no uncertain terms all RAF bases with USAF personnel now must follow the Constitution and us law, and if the UK tried to defy this, the US military would directly attack the UK?

In my specific case, two things.

Second, while it’s true that not every instance of a possible slippery slope is, by itself, evidence that a slippery slope is occurring, it is nevertheless unavoidable that christian nationalism is a for real, no-fucking-around threat to my personal wellbeing.

First, something doesn’t need to benefit me individually in order for it to be the right thing to do.
