"The elimination of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Assisted Reproductive Technology Surveillance team — a group of six epidemiologists, data analysts and researchers — shocked public health experts and IVF advocates who said they had felt encouraged by President Donald Trump’s comments supporting access to the infertility treatment."

So we only have two eggs that were mature AND got fertilized - last time we had four and pre-genetic testing showed that only one was viable. So I'm not feeling too hopeful about only two embryos going in for testing. :/

Rai suggested we could try IVF in India, which would be cheaper. I just wonder if my job would let me like... teach a semester remotely, for the sake of going through this process. Feels like most places wouldn't bother granting you that boon.

This skeet by the wonderful Vivian Jenna Wilson explains so much about why Elon Musk is so salty about trans people in general. He literally paid to have only sons, and then it turns out one of his children is a woman after all...

I cannot imagine the sheer amount courage that Vivian must have, defying her deadbeat biological father who just happens to be the richest man on earth, with quite literally every fibre of her being. May we all find strength like her to stand proud and tall in the face of the current transmisic shitstorm.

Screenshot of Vivian Jenna Wilson's Bluesky post of 9 March 2025: My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold. That expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction. A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION.
