Jane the fucking virgin

Annoys me so much how somebpdy obviously unwilling to have a child, who goes for BIRTH control. Happens to get pregnant with no consent of hers, no autonomy and this tv show is just like ah women are yes girls they love pregnancy she will keep the baby even though its the most draining and painful thing to happen to somebody who was only at the clinic to actively prevent that from happening. No no no. I would sue the mofuckers and rip the shit out of MY uterus as i didn't consent to it being there. Why is women's biology and reproductive states made into some unrealistic, dramatic theatrical comedy? Why

The little unconventional family

For those with tokophobia who want, or desire biological children or fear their partners want biological children but there is no way you can get over the phobia, phobias are medical conditions, anxiety disorders which are often linked to depression and deeper mental health conditions and if you have exhausted all means of overcoming this i.e. therapy etc OR even if you are demi-female, or another gender which would make you feel uncomfortable being pregnant i.e trans male, gender fluid, then worry not! Surrogacy agencies are on the rise, look into the legality of it and do your research early for the country or state you live in! Be prepared to have to mention why surrogacy is important for you and why naturally having children isn't an option i.e. im tokophobic, it derrives from depression and a fear of losing control of my body, my partner wants biological children, i have tried years of therapy but it just gets worse, it could save our marriage... Also be prepared for contact with the surrogate mother, its not suitable for tokophobes who cannot be in the same room as somebody who is pregnant as surrogacy requires trust and communication.

Tokophobia

Can people please not tag the words "tokophobic" or "tokophobia" into poctures of heavily pregnant women as it kind of triggers panic attacks or at least extreme discomfort for those of us who genuinely use the tag to search in this isolated world for people like us and use it as our "safe place"

As a tokophobe, I usually only get upset over the sort of touchy feely invading-my-space kind of attitude to pregnancy, when people don’t respect me enough to not try to force me to touch their stomach or try to drag me along to their cissexist baby showers.

But then sometimes I get freaked out by my own body, like looking at my stomach and it’s natural “dip” and releasing that I have a functioning uterus in there, or how my wide hips and wider thighs are described as perfect for “birthing”

Why is it so gross to me?
