If you support bodily autonomy, if you support cognitive liberty, if you support medical freedom, you need to support it for everyone, on all situations. You need to support people's right to absolute control of their own bodies and minds, and their right to make their own decisions about their bodies and minds, regardless of the reason for those decisions.
It doesn't matter what the reason is. It doesn't matter if you think it's a bad, silly, or irrational reason. Autonomy is for everyone, all the time.
Just like other civil liberties, like freedom of speech or due process, the true test of whether you truly support rights is whether you support them for people you hate, or whether you support the freedom to make a choice you hate.
Autonomy is for everyone, all the time.
