It’s not all about you. Sorry.

So, basically, you’re saying that you disapprove of her choices because they’re not ones you would make and are finding “reasons” to support your saying that this woman and her family deserve your contempt for having children in a way you don’t like.

My left hand is pretty much a frying pan, so I can easily imagine doing without it. Adoption and surrogacy are also difficult. And I don't think participating in a research study is the same thing as demanding every available medical intervention. Anyone wanting to reproduce at all is irrational and selfish…

It seems rather easy for some Jezzies to know in the most profound way how it feels to live with uterine dysgenesis, the reason for the uterine transplants in Sweden and, likely, for the transplant in this story. Why is it ok to get all Cotton Mather-y about this women in regards to the (alleged and projected)…

This. Times a million.

Like many trans women, I dearly wish I could have experienced pregnancy. It doesn’t mean I love my son any less just because I didn’t give birth to him myself. Anyone who know anything at all about me knows what he means to me.

I think it's something people don't always want to talk about because we're finally making a little progress wrt NOT assuming every woman dreams of having babies, but some women really do, the way others want to run marathons or go to grad school. Giving birth was hand down the coolest thing I've done. I'd go through…

And you’ll find all sorts of women who have absolutely no desire to procreate, and society treats them as fucked up and constantly harasses them about their choice. You’ll also find women who are unable to give birth for whatever reason, and they’re treated as pitiable, damaged creatures who will never be “whole”…

Yes value judgments about what women do being ‘best’ for our families always work out great for women to glad you included that.

Yeah comments like, “she really is going through a lot to be pregnant” don’t bother me because obviously, it’s true. Value judgments such as “it’s not worth it” annoy the shit out of me.

I’m not sure we can blame this on The Patriarchy.

I don’t get that comment. Your “own” child. Like only birthing means love. Hello, Aunts and Uncles love their nieces and nephews and did not birth them. I love our friends kids and I had no part in having in them. People that say ignorant shit like that are just asking to get smacked.

YES PLEASE GO ON JUDGING HER REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES THAT ALWAYS WORKS OUT SO WELL FOR WOMEN.

What bothers me is that somehow this situation makes otherwise liberal minded women feel the need to get all judgy about other women’s reproductive choices. BECAUSE PEOPLE JUDGING WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES ALWAYS WORKS OUT SO WELL FOR US.

I have been pregnant and given birth and yes, I think most would argue the end product is the most important thing.

You think God doesn’t support science? I suppose some people’s gods don’t. But most people’s do.
