In theory the first sentence could be correct. In reality in America and other places peoples private sex lives, what they wear, and birth control methods are all highly contested, and it’s so comically disingenuous to act as though you aren’t one of that kind of activist.
Nope i spent many many posts saying the state shouldn't allow minors diagnosed with gender disphoria to get puberty blockers, and PUBLIC SCHOOLS shouldn't have pornographic books in school libraries.
Both are topic wrt minors which aren't allowed normal freedoms because incapable of fully deciding for themselves.
I never asked to ban books from any facility for adults at all (public or private), nor to block adult people from accessing any treatment they want to modify their body, if they pay for them without asking anything from taxpayers.
I actually wrote anyone (in a sane state of mind, conscious from the pov of the law, who can sign contracts and so on) should be allowed to consume any substance at all no exception. And self modify, or get his body self modified, as much as he wants.
I am an activist to protect minors from violence though, and leftist violence to minors recently is particularly repugnant, while in the past it was the clear opposite for a very long time.
It's about who has cultural power in society i guess, unfortunately that's often used to abuse children systematically. We can hope one day whomever has cultural power stops abusing minors, but that day hasn't come yet.
I had personally hoped that ended with churches losing most of their cultural power, but the new church of the letter soup is taking their place and doing the same to minors so i am here to do my part to reduce the damage the church of letter soup inflicts on kids.

It has been several decades since birth control "being contested" in the USA simply meant people refuse to pay for other people birth control, and that's perfectly fine and compatible with freedom.
