Triple J Is Getting Slammed For Claiming The IUD Is An ‘Eco-Friendly’ Alternative To The Pill

People are ripping Triple J’s The Hook Up a new one over some pretty fucked up suggestions it made regarding eco-friendly contraceptive options for folks with uteruses, such as opting for the intrauterine device (IUD) instead of the contraceptive pill. I just know that sentence will hit different for anyone who’s had the misfortune of an unbearably painful IUD insertion. The Hook Up article looked at ways people can have a more environmentally friendly sex life and reduce waste in the bedroom (or wherever you enjoy getting down and dirty). It didn’t just cover eco-friendly contraceptive alternatives for people with uteruses, but also recommended stuff like switching to vegan condoms and water-based lube, buying sex toys made from biodegradable materials and turning the lights off when rooting.

firstly, surely all contraception is less environmentally impactful than creating another human. secondly, they should only encourage this if everyone getting an iud also gets bulkbilled ketamine with it, as a treat, like I did.
