Thank you for sharing your uterine experiences! You are an inspiration and my personal hero and favorite woman to share the real news with us everyday.
I am so glad I decided parenthood isn't for me. I have so many things that would get me labeled high risk if I got pregnant that I couldn't bring myself to do it even if I wanted to.
My heart goes out to you for so many things, especially that shared sisterhood of being ignored, shunted aside, and treated like a side of meat by the medical profession, and now, by our government. Alexis de Tocqueville wrote long ago that the strength of America was in its women. I have believed that all my life. To date, at the age of 76, have had precious little evidence to prove de Tocqueville wrong. Keep the faith and remain in the fight.
Oh girl! Thank you for sharing. I’m sick about this as a 60 year old woman that ended up adopting because I was unable to conceive, but your story resonated because as you say in today’s climate women are losing more and more of our reproductive rights. I can’t believe in the year 2025 that we have to deal with these fucking men making decisions about our health care with total disregard for our lives. We have to stop them!!
It makes me sick as someone in my late 50s to see women today suffering like I never thought they would be. I marched on Washington in 1989 with the NOW. It was a great day, and my mother was sure to tell me that my presence was important because I had a civic duty to stand up for other women. She told me about the days before Roe, back alley abortions, the loss of life and loss of fertility. It’s terrifying that women have to flee their state to get them needed medical care they need. I am the parent of a child who is in their early 20s and is adamant, they want to be sterilized, because they don’t want the fear of being forced to endure what other women in the country are. It shouldn’t be like this. And I’m gonna still fight for all of you.
Those were a lot of the stories that I heard as well. Since we have had some 23&Me's drop some surprises as well. The way women were treated and fought for us. Only for us to be back here now.
I was beyond proud a couple of weeks ago when my daughter came out to protest with me, completely on her own.

Oz, you are more eloquent than ever! I think I've followed you since the pandemic.
