@melissasage Thanks for listening. If you or anyone visiting this thread would like more context and information about India being a surveillance state and routine arbitrary arrests being done, I would happy to provide that. Also, to the people from USA reading this, Indian constitution doesn't guarantee absolute freedom of speech.

Any claim of professional high ground in scenarios like that is the expensive suit version of insisting artists should work for exposure and\or should be grateful you stole their art to earn money from its sale.

Gender reveal parties are a form of ritual magic, designed to protect cis parents from having a trans child (it doesn't work)
