It's 2021...

This is exactly why the Government’s decision to allow religious schools to deliver faith-based RSE is so egregious. Regardless of background, all children & young people should be entitled to comprehensive, fact-based info on relationships & sexual health.https://humanism.org.uk/2021/01/24/exposed-catholic-school-resources-say-man-was-created-to-be-the-initiator-in-sexual-relationships-women-receiver-responders/

We care about other people because they can experience suffering and flourishing - they're sentient.

So why not care about other beings that are sentient too?

Surely it's sentience that matters, not species/group membership or any other characteristic - human or otherwise.

Many #Humanists (and other people) resist granting moral consideration to non-human animals based on their sentience.

Even though the reason most Humanists (and other people) care about humans is because we're sentient - because we can experience suffering and flourishing.

It's great to have compassion for all humans - but we're not the only ones that suffer.

Should our moral consideration focus on humans or extend to all sentients?

Looking forward to talking to @dorsethumanists about #Sentientism tonight!

Thanks for the invite 💚

Hidden-in-Sight 🕵🏼‍♂️@hi_sight

This UK Government petition ends next month. It aims to close loopholes in the law in England and Wales concerning the sexual abuse of animals, a very hidden crime, and one so often linked to child abuse. Please sign and share. #TheLink - https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/333945

@LeomantVictoria Al-Ma’arri was not just a #vegan, but maybe an early #Sentientist too!
