	"description": "Subject: Send a letter: &quot;Outrageous! Tennessee ignores experts with proposed sex doll ban&quot; Body: Friend, I wrote a letter for the Action Network letter campaign &quot;Outrageous! Tennessee ignores experts with proposed sex doll ban&quot;. Dr James Cantor, former editor of the journal Sexual Abuse and an expert on paraphilias, says that there is no evidence that sex dolls are harmful​, and that they may be helpful in providing a victimless outlet for those with abnormal sexual interests. Other leading scientists agree. But none of this matters to Tennessee legislators, who are set to pass a law, SB 659 - HB 1168 that would make it a felony to possess a sex doll that the government considers has &quot;features that resemble those of a minor&quot;—whatever that might mean (legal experts have criticized this test as being far too vague). This proposal is both abhorrent and immoral. Why are we giving dolls the same rights as real children? Under no circumstances should the abuse of a real child be treated as equivalent to the possession of a lifeless sex doll. To assert otherwise is to diminish the rights of real children and to trivialize their abuse. Although aimed at protecting children, the bill could do the opposite, by criminalizing what experts believe could be a possible harmless outlet for those with sexual interests in children. It would also open the door to state legislatures stepping in to regulate other private, consensual sexual acts between adults. If you are from Tennessee, can you join me and write a letter?
