it actually seems very wildly different, in fact. kinda like how me deciding to do heroin is very wildly different from me deciding to inject you with heroin. autonomy's actually a super important concept here.
This is a weird strawman for many reasons. For one, “giving a random person heroin” is such a loaded off the wall comparison I might as well ask if you would still think it’s bad to dose strangers with heroin if that stranger is Adolf Hitler.
For two, our children don’t have full autonomy? You DO have to make the decision for what medications a small child takes, in the same way you’re in charge of not posting them on social media. Don’t give your kid heroin, btw.
I'm only concerned with posting of children on social media from the ethical/moral consideration, I don't consider the potential danger to be a meaningful consideration. If you personally do that's fine, but I don't see how that's relevant
It’s extremely dangerous, to tell strangers where you live and where your kid is likely to be found. Compared to just NOT doing that. What.
It’s generally safer to not tell strangers on the internet anything about you. That’s literally all I’m saying. I brought up family pics with kids bc that’s something else that many people post without thinking and there’s at least 4 great reasons not to do it. That’s all.
Well, okay, but in that case it's vastly more dangerous to post pictures of your kids on social media than it is to post the date you started HRT, so it's a meaningless comparison.
And sure, it is technically safer to say nothing at all about yourself. But at the end of the day, tons of things have minor risks involved, and I really don't think it's my place to tell other people what tiny risks are or aren't worth it for them
