They made my wife's friend ask permission from a panel of men to get a hysterectomy after having 8 kids.

Nuff said.

Only 8? That's barely halfway to God's will.

I know, right?

It really surprised me how little rage she had about the indignity and denial of agency.

Fuck organized religion.

Hey now! I'm an ordained minister in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Little respect?

(I am serious and I paid for our friend to be ordained and marry us. 😂)

Why are there Catholic hospitals? Are there Reiki hospitals?

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 10 points 4 months ago

If there were, the reiki hospitals would be a little more hands off with young boys.

Catholic hospitals started as charity, still some aspect of that involved. Not really sure the local Sacred Heart has any mandate to deny trans care. Seems more of a, "Don't do this!" thing than mandatory. Anyone know better?

In response to this as a Tech Priest, I have banned Catholics.
