Thank you, Virginia. While reproductive freedom and anti-diet work might seem disparate on the surface, at their core, both issues are all about valuing bodily autonomy and self-determination, honoring each person’s internal knowing and being, and calling out oppressive systems. This is pretty much all I can think about this morning, and I appreciate you acknowledging it and making space here.
I encourage us when we talk about this to remember that not just women can get pregnant. People of all genders need access to abortion. Thanks from your friendly neighbor hood nonbinary trans person who can get pregnant!
We knew this. We all knew this. The day after Trump was elected, I said to my husband, there goes Roe and gay marriage. And he -- a lawyer -- said no way, those are settled law. I knew. And even so, this is heart-breaking and enraging. Thank you for your writing, for the Circle and for the links to good pieces. I am sick.
