That can't be my determination - it has to be the determination of the participants. I just don't see a problem with consenting adults (adults only) doing what they want with their lives. If an adult male wants to dress up like a girl and whack his parts off - as insane and completely mentally ill as I think that is - that's his business. I think it's totally messed up if he has children who have to witness that fiasco, but where do we draw a line in the sand or do "we" even have a right to? It's not an easy answer. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who would define my absolute refusal to go anywhere near a doctor for over 30 years as harming myself and harming family because my life "might" be shortened as a result. Should someone have the right to tell me I must see a doctor because someone might get hurt? I certainly was/am accused of harming others for three years by refusing to stay home, to mask or use sanitizer, and refusing all tests and jabs, not to mention calling it the "scamdemic". My actions had consequences: I lost a job opportunity and all but one family member, plus all friends. I was called a lunatic, dangerous, evil, and even a murderer once. You're absolutely right that no one is an island, but I also support peoples' rights to make their own decisions.
But how do you decide when "No one" is getting "hurt"? No man is an island.
