The decision to terminate a pregnancy is often informed by the needs of the children a pregnant person is already raising.

The fact is that trans-exclusionary feminists and misogynists are, despite some trivial differences, basically on the same side.

I just tell my daughter the truth about my period: I have PMS, my back is killing me, and we’re going to eat a lot of chocolate.

For queer parents like me, meanwhile — although I know that my whiteness and my class affords me a degree of protection from scrutiny and interference — the threat of being deemed an illegitimate parent also serves to silence any discussion of mixed feelings.

People talk about skin care like it’s fun — a way to relax. But for me, the very idea opens onto a black hole of self-loathing.
