When Surrogacy Goes Badly, There Are Never Any Winners - The Center for Bioethics & Culture Network

A surrogate mother's cancer diagnosis required her to deliver the baby early. The intended parents refused medical care for the baby

“This surrogate was faced with a decision most pregnant women hope they never have to face, saving one life at the risk of losing another. To make matters worse, the two intended fathers wanted her to abort the baby because they didn’t want a baby who would be born prematurely, and who may have serious medical needs. The fathers refused to entertain the idea of allowing the baby, if delivered alive, to be adopted by the surrogate or someone else. The fathers stated they didn’t want their “DNA out there” being raised by someone else. Even one of the surrogate’s doctors said they knew someone willing to adopt the baby, but the fathers just wanted a “death certificate” for the child and asked that no life saving measures be performed on the baby if he was born alive”

Artist Statement:

“This post might cost me some followers but I finally need to speak out about my experience.For the past few years I identified as a transgender man. Until I realised that my transition was nothing else than a coping mechanism and I understood that, to me, identifying with gender means to identify with toxic stereotypes. Meanwhile, I neither identify as a woman, nor as a man, nor as any other gender. I am biologically female and that is all I need in order to be a woman.

Detransition doesn’t mean that I simply live as a cis woman again or that I‘ve never been trans. It means that I choose to deal with my gender dysphoria in a different way and that I am now healing from the negative experiences that I made as a woman in our society.

I respect trans people’s gender identity, their pronouns, and I respect that there are people who have a different definition of what it means to be a woman or man. And I believe that we don’t have to hate each other just for having a different opinion. I know by first hand how hard it is to be trans but the discrimination I faced back then was nothing compared to the hatred and loss of friends that I experienced after coming out as detrans.

This being said, I am done explaining myself and I am sick of feeling like my opinions are something I need to hide.”

I’m angry at myself and so many other people who were caught up in all this, but it’s a good reminder to temper that with compassion. There’s so much fresh trauma coming from gender ideology, but it’s also rooted in our lifelong trauma as girls and women. As we searched for some relief, the world offered us an escape hatch and we did not see, in our wounded state, that it was just a novel form of self-annihilation.

it does not matter if you have a genuine desire to do good (kendall) or a deep capacity for love (roman) or have comparatively progressive politics and are a victim of the misogynistic environment your father created (shiv). because if your sense of self is so intrinsically tied to oppressive capitalist structures, what good are your best impulses, your love, your decency? waystar is them and they are waystar what does any kindness they possess actually matter if they are only capable of acting upon it within the framework of the fascistic, patriarchal corporation that they have no desire to escape?

This is a review of “He Chose Porn Over Me”: Women Harmed by Men Who Use Porn, edited by Melinda Tankard Reist

“Misogynistic patterns are baked deep into our culture. Late in our marriage, desperate at his endless put-downs and occasional violence, I’d say, ‘Don’t you see, you’re treating me exactly as you used to complain that your father treated your mother?’

When I went to Sunderland, my grandad told me he’d teach me how to ride when I came back for Christmas and then he fuckin’ died and I haven’t been on a bike since. And now I’m saying that out loud I realize that never learning was actually a great disrespect to his memory and now I feel ashamed so can we stop talking about it and go back to me just taking out my negative emotions on you even if you deserve it or not.

Come on, Roy. For grandad.

I'm tired of female pop stars wearing only lingerie to events, shows, red carpets, and guest star appearances. I'm tired of seeing women show up to things wearing nothing but corsets and thongs. I'm exhausted. These women are framed as "successful wealthy entrepreneurs." Is that what female success is? Nudity? Seeing that lingerie shit at events makes me feel cheap and degraded from a million miles away.
