In testimony to Seattle City Council recently, a harm reduction advocate actually had the balls to say:

"I know it can be a little controversial, but one of the key tenets of harm reduction that I see is that we want to be able to facilitate and champion autonomy of people who use drugs. And so you know there are folks who don't want to stop using drugs. There are folks for whom abstinence is not something by which they measure their success in life." https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1661219672434302976

Oh, how I wish we could make the harm reduction advocates who work in offices and spend their days designing and implementing programs spend a month on L.A.'s Skid Row so they could see the full consequences of their allegedly "value free" approach to drug use and addiction.

By the way, it's a huge lie that harm reduction activists and their policies are value free. They are profoundly hostile to social norms and values that place any demands or restrictions on the individual. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if they were covert anarchists.

That is what is being said up and down the woke west coast, including here in oregon since oregon completely decriminalized use of drugs and our deaths from overdoses and number of zonked out people living on the streets have skyrocketed. How about the rights of the rest of us, including children, to not have to see people killing themselves in public?

There is a big difference between real harm reduction like needle exchanges and enabling, like giving fentanyl and crack users new aluminum foil and lighters. The latter does not reduce passing on HIV or other blood born diseases.

Thank you for another brilliant post!!! Yes, "mansplaining" does describe him. Those were the days, when most Lesbians said no to these men, unlike now where it seems most betray us instead because saying no is so cruel to these predators. Thank you for keeping our Lesbian-loving tradition going!

"Sorry, bud, there’s no misunderstanding. It’s just that men aren’t lesbians."

It's nice that you planted your flag on "adult human female" as the definition for "woman". However, if your definition for "female" is no better than half of those from Kindergarten Cop -- boys have penises and girls have vaginas -- then I don't see that you have much of a leg to stand on when transsexuals claim to have changed sex. "Change your genitalia, change your sex! Act now! Offer ends soon!" 🙄
