terfs give big "you're not a real mother if you had a c section instead of natural birth" energy.
think about it.
- c sections are no fucking walk in the park either but they use their own experiences as the "definitive" experience of childbirth that's natural and thus superior to other forms of childbirth.
- it's gatekeeping what it means to be a mother by using a qualification that actually has no fucking bearing on what being a mother means, and also totally ignores that some people give birth to children they don't intend on raising, and thus reject motherhood altogether. being the person who popped a baby out does not make you a mother by default, not in the ways that most people would define a mother. being a mother can mean everything to some people, and absolutely nothing to others. same as being a woman, lol, but they hate hearing that.
- going along with the above bulletpoint, literally anyone can be a mother. they don't have to give birth. they don't have to be blood relatives of their children in any way. but like terfs, the anti c section crowd applies nobility to suffering, and acts as if that suffering is universal to all mothers, and if you don't suffer, if you actually enjoy being a mother, then you're not doing it right.
- and last but not least, terfs hate surgeries, lol. how dare you alter the body that god- I mean, that nature gave you. I'm not a christofascist conservative in a feminist wig, what are you talking about-
