This is part 2 of a series on my journey of being pregnant, written with the intention to stretch the range of pregnancy experiences that have been subjected to the oppressive standards of heteropatriarchy.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us of being a genderqueer birthing person - what a gift. It is devastating that there is so much ignorance in the birth space about this. I wish you didn't have to experience being non-affirmed in order to share those lessons - you shouldn't have to. But I think every prenatal yoga teacher, every doula, every midwife, every OB/GYN, every nurse... etc. should read this and everything you write! Sending you lots of love. Please keep sharing as you're able <3
Thank you for receiving me ♥️🥲 I can understand why the birth space is so mom focused (cause gender as a construct is still a somewhat nescient topic). But! I’m also seeing some spaces being more conscious about expanding their language to include everyone in the birthing experience. So I’m hopeful!
