What does fertility or infertility mean to you?
"I think that infertility is just a fact of life. Although infertility is pathologized as something that is pretty bad in many cultures, if it's affecting one in six hetero couples, then the numbers are a lot higher for LGBT couples."
"I was going through transition and have been terrified at knowing what the future may hold. So I decided to freeze my sperm. Fast forward one year, I was surrounded with so much fertility talk that I seriously considered my fertility. Fast forward another two years witnessing other people having kids, colleagues adopting because they're in lesbian relationships, seeing the effects that child raising or having kids has on them and giving them purpose, makes me want that experience too."
"In the record keeping software, you can't have a semen sample attributed to a female profile. There's so much infrastructure that just pulls the cisnormativity."
