“i may sound like a biological essentialist” says the biological essentialist

plenty of AFAB people opt out of menstruation anyways. i would if i wasn’t worried about the side effects and found the right regimen, and i don’t think that my psychology is all that affected by my menstrual cycle to be honest. maybe i’m unusual but i don’t think my body is made to do something just because it can.

(this screenshot is from an article about attitudes towards artificial wombs. count me solidly in the pro-‘artificial wombs as a viable option’ category).

All this wank around meaning. What about the logistical implications that it’ll make no economic sense to leave an artificial womb empty, ever, for more than like a 1 day turnaround, and thus reproduction would take place within structures optimized for that?
