no particular desire to get into this because honestly I’m exhausted, but I can’t be the only cis, female feminist who is creeped out by the hysteria around puberty blockers because they *might* lead to treatments that *might* reduce fertility

maybe I’m just at an age where this all feels very *pointed* but I’m very very not up for discussions of gender that are framed entirely around the possibility of impregnating or being impregnated, as if that were the only way people could have Real Identities

lots of things you do impact on fertility including, if you’re a cis man, riding a bike on bumpy roads or resting your laptop on your lap, and yet I have never, ever read an article handwringing over either of those activities

not to mention that by working so hard to undermine Gillick they are also chipping away at the right of teenagers to access contraception and abortion without parental knowledge or consent. brrrr.
