IUDs have to be inserted through cervix and from what I've been told by women pretty much universally, poking cervix in any way hurts like fucking removed. How is this not universally accepted and approached accordingly with pain meds or local anesthetics for the procedure?

fucking removed

What?..?

Self censorship, the hardest one to bypass

I don't know, I think ml has some weirdness in its software that results in shit like this.

Hurts like fucking capitalism.

Dot ml considered "Bitch" a slur and blocks it. Kinda ironic in this case it stopped a woman from expressing herself.

Edit: actually rereading I'm not sure it's a woman posting.

It was not a woman... Poking cervix in any way fucking hurts as fuck.

Lets see if this also gets censored.

Yeah, sorry, I realized after that I was mixing up comments when replying.

Fuck isn't censored on your instance. It's not a general swear filter, just anything that could be used as a slur.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It's a filter on lemmy.ml users and communities. They can't say "Bitch" (female dog).

Hahahahaha, what times we live in

a filter on lemmy.ml

Good ol' lemmy.ml protecting our virgin eyes from terrifying words lest our fragile psyches break into an inconsolable mess. And lemmy is censorship resistant.

And lemmy is censorship resistant.

It still is. The filter isn't applied to any other instances.

I had forgotten bitch is one of their naughty words. Pitiful.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

They consider it a slur against women regardless of context.
