In the week I read about #Onto, a subscription car service in the UK, failing I am presented with an offer from #Amex for a similar service here in the US called #Autonomy.

Doesn’t include insurance, but it looks like it is an option. Does include maintenance. Could be interesting for some. Pricing seems a little high, but you’re paying for the flexibility.

@gfarrell Nothing says ‘pro-life’ quite like the state murder of women who are often already mothers, and could be mothers again if circumstances permitted. Plenty of ‘Christian’ believers would endorse this, despite it being the literal opposite of any of their Ten Commandments for a decent life. #prochoice #autonomy

#BookReview: Circumcision Scar: My Foreskin Restoration, Neonatal Circumcision Memories and How Christian Doctors Duped a Nation (2020) by Jay J. Jackson

Reviewed by Tim Hammond for Journal of Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology & Health (2021)
https://www.proquest.com/docview/2596975784

Long-time gay rights activist Tim Hammond connects cultural fears of the intact penis with homophobia within this review of Jay Jackson's intensely personal book.

#Circumcision #LGBTQ #Homophobia #Autonomy #BodilyAutonomy

As a gay man myself, I'm hopeful that politically aware LGBTI readers will recognize the intersectionality of homophobia and prepucephobia (fear of foreskin) that underpin the historical and ongoing desire by certain societies to defy nature and attempt to eradicate both of these human characteristics, as well as the parallels between gay rights and children's rights when it comes to the oppressive forces of medicine and religion over our bodies, our sexuality, and our lives. In this respect, Jackson skillfully argues why true gender equality can never be achieved until society respects the genital autonomy of all children-regardless of sex or gender-and asks, "How do women reconcile asking people to support their right to dictate what happens to their own bodies, then turn around and deny their own sons the same liberty?" (p. 116). He continues with the powerful assertion that, "Once equality stops being a two-way street it stops being equality" (p. 108).

Saw 3 new patients and all exclaimed they were stunned I listened and factored their values into our mental health plan.

Yo, Colleagues:

1. Listen to patients

2. Collaborative Care starts with the *patient*, as central. Not you and another doctor.

3. You have nothing to lose by say, going virtual, but your chains.

4. Systems -- said chains -- dont give a shit about you, your health, your burnout, your needs.

5. See 3.

Same source:

Self-organizing systems are characterized by their intrinsic, nonlinear operators, (i.e., the properties of their constituent elements, macromolecules, spores of the slime mold, bees, etc.), which generate macroscopically (meta-) stable patterns maintained by the perpetual flux of their constituents. A special case of #self_organization is #autopoiesis. It is that organization which is its own Eigen-state: the outcome of the productive interactions of the components of the system are those very components. It is the organization of the #living, and, at the same time, the organization of #autonomy.

CHANGUINOLA, Panama — Long before the Naso peoples in the northern jungles of Panama won the fight for their land, before a king came from far away to lead them against the invaders and cattle ranchers, the bureaucrats and corporations who wanted the territory to themselves — long before all of that, the Naso people lived on the Caribbean coast battling enemy tribes and Spanish colonists.

From the preface by Tomaso Montanari, on the issue of administrative and centralised #evaluation of #research: "The arguments you are about to read are partly theoretical and partly technical, and they apply to every discipline. But what is at stake is political, in the highest sense of the word: and why is well summed up by the quotation embedded in the title of Maria Chiara Pievatolo's contribution: 'Caesar supra grammaticos'. In other words, it is about the control (however direct or facilitated by internal reservations within the scientific community) that the government exercises over research: a control that fundamentally denies the #autonomy of research, which should be inviolable as a guarantee for everyone".

I like to explain to children what I'm doing with and to them.

"Now we're putting on sunscreen. I know, you hate it. But if we don't do this, it'll hurt more."

These are babies. They can't understand. But it's a matter of principle--I'm going to explain to this human being, who is my equal, why I have to put the cream on their forehead. I would want someone to do the same for me if I didn't understand them.

Medical paternalism is a helluva drug.

“Doctors delight in working with their unborn patients — and experience an aesthetic injury when they are aborted.”

This is completely wrong, centering doctors, of all people, instead of female patients.

Ho indulged in reasoning that would seem far afield in a legal decision. 

“Unborn babies are a source of profound joy for those who view them. Expectant parents eagerly share ultrasound photos with loved ones,” he wrote. “Friends and family cheer at the sight of an unborn child. Doctors delight in working with their unborn patients — and experience an aesthetic injury when they are aborted.”

On #intersex traits, the AAP's most recent official statement was endorsing this document in 2006:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2082839/

This statement explicitly states that assignment of binary gender is a core part of "optimal clinical management" and centers medical professionals as gender experts. However, their claims lack robust systematic evidence, which they even concede. So where are the laws protecting children with intersex traits?

Screenshot of linked article: 

Surgical Management
The surgeon has a responsibility to outline the surgical sequence and subsequent consequences from infancy to adulthood. Only surgeons with expertise in the care of children and specific training in the surgery of DSD
should perform these procedures. Parents now seem to be less inclined to choose surgery for less severe clitoromegaly. Surgery should only be considered in cases of severe virilization (Prader III–V) and be performed in
conjunction, when appropriate, with repair of the common urogenital sinus. Because orgasmic function and
erectile sensation may be disturbed by clitoral surgery, the surgical procedure should be anatomically based to
preserve erectile function and the innervation of the clitoris. Emphasis is on functional outcome rather than a
strictly cosmetic appearance. It is generally felt that surgery that is performed for cosmetic reasons in the first year of life relieves parental distress and improves attachment between the child and the parents; the
systematic evidence for this belief is lacking.

Interesting analysis of so-called "Pathological Demand Avoidance", from Dr Devon Price.

"Some psychologists, such as Allison Moore, Tomlin Wilding, & myself have argued that the PDA profile cannot be understood as an individual pathology at all. Wilding suggests we ought to think of the acronym PDA as standing for “persistent drive for autonomy” instead."

"A need for freedom & healthy suspicion of authority has protected me, not hurt me."

What if we took bell hooks seriously? And what if we went beyond the metaphorical and psychic and included the literal and physical?

#patriarchy #autonomy #circumcision #Feminism #Masculinity #philosophy

The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of
males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy
demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic
self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of
themselves. Ifan individual is not successful in emotionally
crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact
rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem. Feminist
movement offered to men and women the information
needed to challenge this psychic slaughter, but that chal-
lenge never became a widespread aspect of the struggle for
gender equality. Women demanded of men that they give
more emotionally, but most men really could not under-
stand what was being asked of them. Having cut away the
parts of themselves that could feel a wide rage of emotional
response, they were too disconnected. They simply could
not give more emotionally or even grasp the problem with-
out first reconnecting, reuniting the severed parts.

@Radical_EgoCom When contraception was finally legalised in Ireland, there was a ‘conscientious objector’ opt-out. This meant many could not get a prescription for condoms or the Pill etc, and the pharmacy would not fill the script either. It was known at the time as “An Irish solution to an Irish problem “.

The activism we do is to fight patriarchal traditions in which children are treated as objects owned, shaped, and controlled by their parents. Ending this oppression is important for seeing children as humans with needs, wants, interests, rights, and opinions of their own which should be given proper respect.

Invoking the child's right to freedom of religion to justify genital cutting is illogical. In reality it is an argument for the parents to enforce the parent's religion on an unconsenting, uninformed child, violating the child's freedom of religion and right to bodily integrity.

#ReligiousFreedom #Consent #ChildrensRights #Ethics #Bioethics #Finland #Circumcision #EndGenitalCutting #Autonomy

Small child is not in a position of forming a spontaneous and independent understanding of an operation like circumcision with permanent implications and of its religious content

Justification cannot be derived from the child's own freedom of religion for the guardians' right of decision in a situation where the child is not competent of giving his consent to the operation due to his age

If a child can assess the meaning of circumcision, his opinion must be crucial in the assessment of the justification for circumcision

Speaking things out, not hiding behind jokes/excuses - the first step of mature behaviour because it requests recognizing the existence of a problem. Thinking about what kind of autonomy a team wants and then asking and fighting for it 😮 This is the path to empowerment, the proof that the team is mature enough to become autonomous.

Excellent article from @einarwh asking the right question: why don't we behave like grown-ups? #softwaredevelopment #empowerment #autonomy

If you are regularly telling them what to do, how to do it, and when to have it complete, your “#leadership” is why they lack passion.

Children have rights and interests that may contradict the desires of their parents, neighborhood, religious community, or school district. Children are people, not property and their rights and dignity should be respected, even when others disagree.

"Tell me what to do, not how to do it!"

Keith & Jagacinski experimentally find that setting goals related to process reduces perceived autonomy, intrinsic motivation and ultimately creativity. 💡

This resonates with discussions we had over the years with creative industry professionals.

Give these people some freedom and they'll deliver great work! ♥️

A grey striped cat with yellow-green eyes playfully curls around a copy of the Texas Observer magazine, with an illustration that evokes both succulent plants and reproductive anatomy, with a headline "Before Roe." Other issues of the magazine are scattered on the carpet around him. Some text next to the TXO logo reads: "As a cat, Ronnie (named for founding Texas Observer editor Ronnie Duggar) values personal autonomyabove all else; his concern even extends to reproductive freedom for humans. In an added bubble is text reading "Become a Member!"

#Introduction: I figured I'd do one of these. Greetings! I’m Scott (he/him). I am, among other things, an anarchist, a writer, a translator, a teacher, a doctoral student, a partner, and a new father. Currently based in so-called Mexico.

At times I write or translate for sites such as @igd_news, @AvispaMidia, El Enemigo Común, and Ill Will. My affinities lie with #anarchism, #autonomy, #autogestion, and #abolition and interrogating both their limitations and capaciousness. I pay a lot of attention to social movements in #Mexico, #Palestine liberation, #politicalprisoners, and anti-colonial struggles. A fan of #sciencefiction and contemplations on the destruction of the Human and its world. My infrequently updated blog can be found at https://fallingintoincandescence.com.

… From a user perspective, existing research predominately focuses on the immediate influence of dark patterns on users’ choices."
