  • Living in Texas, a state with one of (if not the) highest maternal mortality rates in the country, it’s embarrassing that they simply hide the data that disprove their bullshit stance. My wife and I had a very complicated pregnancy that ended up with my kid being born 6 weeks early and her in the hospital, and this was after years of IVF. We spent thousands getting to the point of having a child and if her life was in danger I would not have given a second thought to protecting her.

    It’s to the point where the first thing I did when it was viable was to get a vasectomy because I wasn’t going to even have the potential for those risks in a state that actively hates women.

    Not to mention that neurodivergence in girls and women is severely underdiagnosed due to differences In manifestation combined with hegemonic standardizations and diagnostic norms.

    Female-bodied people show different symptoms and may be more commonly dismissed as “quirky behavior”.

    So your assumptions that one is tested and the other wasn’t may, in fact, be just as “gross and harmful” as this user accuses someone else to be.
