That awkward moment when people assume all people with a uterus are female and that all people with sperm are male and assume others have a say in what goes on in their bodies.

Okay.

First off, the uterus-bearer goes through months of disgusting morning sickness. And it isn’t like, little pukey-time every morning. Try every other hour and full on “Mother fucker I think I’m going to puke up my insides.” And they get heart burn and other fun stuff.

Oh, and they feel like they’re going to piss their pants every two seconds. Gotta sneeze? Tough shit! Hope you’re wearing a Poise pad, cuz you’re peeing your undies today!

Then they get nice and big. And covered in stretchmarks. They’re basically sacrificing their body to carry a fetus. And their abs basically split down the middle and their intestines get to move around, and if they’re really lucky, the fetus decides to hit their sciatic nerve and make moving painful. Or if you’re super duper lucky like my mom, it’ll break a rib or two!

And they get to carry it for nine months! OH JOYOUS GLEE! Nine whole months of these fun activities! 

And finally, when it’s time for the little sucker to pop out, there are plenty of contractions and painful pushing to accompany that miraculous birth.

So in summary: I don’t care if somebody’s sperm was used to help create a thing in a uterus with the uterus-bearer’s eggs. The sperm donor doesn’t have to carry it for nine months and suffer any problems that come with it.

Therefore, the uterus-bearer has a fucking huge say in this, if not all of the control in the situation.

So yeah.
