man the britney spears testimony is chilling. she can’t drive, cant choose her therapist or any person around her, is forced to perform and train or she’ll be put on meds and restrained at home, cant see her kids or even have a new child, was forced to get an IUD which she can’t have taken out, can’t even choose her own food and bedtime. it’s very much institutionalisation except she still has to perform to make money for her family (the same that claim she shouldn’t have autonomy over her own life) and can’t even change a single dance move in her choreography. it’s just. christ.
see what i mean by parents feeling ownership over their children. her parents were allowed to suspend her autonomy as an adult too.
and like. she’s a rich cis white woman (though tbh she can barely touch the money she makes for her abusers)! and her disability and status is still enough to completely suspend her autonomy in the most abusive way, to even deny her the ability to have kids or refuse food. this is an absolute nightmare. imagine what it’s like for institutionalised working class folks too. poor folk, people of color, trans people who also had their autonomy suspended that way and are institutionalised or under conservationship. im really glad she got this opportunity to speak, no matter how short it was. but christ is it heartbreaking.
