My abortion was not masculine enough

I got pregnant four years ago, when I was 26, and had an abortion in my first trimester. At the time, I wasn’t in a position financially or emotionally to be a parent. I was unemployed, and I knew that choosing to have a child would make it very hard to get a job in the near future. I wasn’t in a living situation where I had room for a baby.
I didn’t feel ashamed about having an abortion. It was an easy decision for me. But as a non-binary transgender person, my abortion experience led to a lot of gender dysphoria. Every clinic had the word women’s in the name, all the pamphlets used gendered language and featured images of gender-conforming people, and clinicians were kind but didn’t understand trans and non-binary experiences. It felt dehumanizing. I had to emotionally disconnect from the experience entirely because of how gendered it was.
Still, I feel so lucky that I had the means to have an abortion. My life would be so different without it. Since then, I’ve gotten married, found a job I really love, adopted a second cat, and have had the time and energy to pursue the activism, hobbies, and lifestyle I enjoy.
I even started volunteering with an abortion fund to help drive people who need abortions to their appointments. I’m so happy with where I am in life, and I recognize that that’s because I was afforded bodily autonomy when I needed it.

There is so much clinics can do to become more inclusive of all genders. Abortion providers should be educated on transgender health care so that they can be aware of any differences due to testosterone hormone replacement therapy. They can adopt gender-neutral language when talking to patients. I'd love to see forms that prominently feature the chosen name, with an optional pronoun field, instead of just the legal name. Clinics can make sure that all the paperwork, aftercare instructions, and pamphlets they use feature gender-neutral language and imagery. They could also take a look at the clinic decor and make sure that feels inclusive as well.

But apparently in a position to take a penis.

May your first abortion, be a masculine abortion.

There can be only one solution here: Cancel all abortion clinics.

In 1978, George A. Romero released “Dawn of the Dead.” One of the most famous lines from that film is, “When there is no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth.”
Thank you for letting me know that we are close.

They should hunt down and kill people like this.

I'm fully convinced a lot of these people are just involved in a victim-based arms race to one-up each other and get those sweet, sweet online virtue points.
I can't wait until we finally get a definitive study on just how many accounts are troll/bot accounts, and all of these idiots having their pleasure neurons fired from every upvote or twitter like figure out in the end it was purely manipulation.

Couldn't write a better stereotype.
Eventually this person will have dozens of cats, be lonely and wonder why no one likes them.

Glad to see "they" have "their" priorities is order. Holy shite.
"Yeah, abortion? No biggie. But those goddamned pamphlets and their gendered language!!! That's over the line there..."
